Domain environment affectedstratigraphy
  • acid compounds emitted into the atmosphere which then return to the surface either in the form in which they were discharged or as new compounds formed by reaction in the atmosphere. Includes dry deposition, usually of sulphur and nitrogen oxides near the source, and wet deposition which follows when acids are washed from the atmosphere by precipitation
  • matieres polluantes acides, d'origine atmosphérique, qui se sont déposées par voie humide ou par voie seche
acid deposition preferred
Usage examples
  • 1. One of the reasons why forests in the Community are declining and dying back is acid deposition and atmospheric pollution in general.
  • 2. Pollutants not listed in Annex I to the Directive on air quality: ... NOx - nitrogen oxides, N-dep. - wet nitrogen deposition, S-dep. - wet sulphur deposition, AD - acid deposition ...

Domain air pollution & toxic gases
  • happesademed - peamiselt gaasiliste väävel- ja lämmastikoksiidide veepiisakestes lahustumisest tuleneva happelise reaktsiooniga sademed. Happesademed põhjustavad saasteainete sadenemist ka saasteallikast kaugel. Happelised lumesajud ja udud ning happeline kaste (viimast on eriti mägistel aladel) on lokaalsemad kui happevihmad.
  • rain (or snow) which contains a higher level of acid than normal
happevihm preferred
acid rain preferred
Usage examples
  • Recognizing furthermore that Canada will undertake further reductions of emissions of sulphur by 2010 through the implementation of the Canada-wide Acid Rain Strategy for Post-2000, and that the United States is committed to the implementation of a nitrogen oxides reduction programme in the eastern United States and to the reduction in emissions necessary to meet its national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter ...
