no longer a daily news item, acidic deposition is still a frequent issue for
environmental managers and policy makers. Emissions of sulfur and nitrogen
from power plants, industrial facilities, and motor vehicles -- major causes of
acidic deposition -- still pour into the atmosphere on a daily basis. Aquatic
Effects of Acidic Deposition summarizes and synthesizes major advancements
in scientific research, highlighting topics directly relevant to policy making. An
expert in the field of atmospheric deposition, the author offers complete
coverage of recent findings which have substantiated, deepened, modified, and in
some cases, revolutionized scientific understanding in environmental
research. Global in scope, the book creates an understanding of the
effects of air pollution on all forms of fresh water. Dr. Sullivan writes
in a style that is credible to scientists and accessible to policy makers. |
