This book was released on 2018 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program’s National Trends Network, the United States Geological Survey’s Rocky Mountain Regional Snowpack Chemistry Program and the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Markets Program were analyzed to identify spatial relationships amongst atmospheric wet deposition concentrations of nitrate and sulfate. The analysis relates atmospheric wet deposition, commonly known as acid rain, to two distinct variables—as a function of elevation and also as a function of proximity to major regional electricity generating stations. This study focuses on the Southern Rocky Mountain region of the United States, and integrates depositional and emissions point-source data from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Previous studies have identified wide-ranging adverse effects upon terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems such as nitrogen saturation, changes in plant biodiversity, and soil nutrient cycling where atmospheric wet deposition is the suspected primary means of pollutant transport and delivery. Atmospheric wet deposition then possess the ability to, in a broad sense, impair the United States’ agricultural, economic, and public health sectors; as a result, the United States Congress, beginning in the 1970’s had legislated a number of acts and amendments funding research focused on studying and attenuating airborne pollution. However, the spatiotemporal geography of atmospheric wet deposition has been understudied and limited in scope, especially across the Western United States’ high elevation lifezones. As a result, it is currently difficult to assess how the depositions of nitrate and sulfate will respond spatially or temporally as a function of emissions outputs of nitrous and sulfurous oxides from major regional electricity generating facilities. This research builds upon the existing geographic knowledge of atmospheric wet deposition by combining precipitation, snowpack, and emission datasets to analyze specific spatial relationships. The study concludes that levels of atmospheric wet deposition concentrations do in fact show trend changes in relation to elevation; it also finds that atmospheric wet deposition concentrations show relationships that strengthen with increased proximity to regional electricity generating stations. The significance of this research is that the spatial distribution of atmospheric wet deposition is discernible, and with improved application and design, likely capable of forecasting the phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about acid deposition, commonly referred to as acid rain, as a widespread pollution problem with severe ecological consequences has heightened public awareness. Many authorities fear that acid deposition may be the worst environmental crisis of our industrialized society because of both the global implications and possible widespread, irreversible damage to lakes, soils, and forested ecosystems. Neither state nor international boundaries are exempt from the transport and deposition of airborne pollutants resulting from local and distant emission sources. The dilemma and debate will continue as long as society requires fossil fuels for its energy needs without regard to emission constraints. This book started as a modest attempt to provide a status report on atmospheric transport, the chemical processes which produce acidifying agents, and resultant ecological and economic consequences. The materials in this book have been substantially revised from those presented at the conference in 1983. It became obvious that additional chapters were required when sudden and profound changes occurring in European forests were reported. It is felt that perhaps such damages could be an early warning to forested ecosystems in the northeastern United States and Canada as well as other places throughout the world. Most importantly, it is essential that gained scientific knowledge be translated into required legislation - a section on Policy Issues was incorporated to address these concerns. It is hoped that the reader will become informed and concerned enough to be involved in ll this IIglobal debate. Donald D. Adams Halter P.

Download or read book The European Nitrogen Assessment written by Mark A. Sutton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the first continental-scale assessment of reactive nitrogen in the environment, this book sets the related environmental problems in context by providing a multidisciplinary introduction to the nitrogen cycle processes. Issues of upscaling from farm plot and city to national and continental scales are addressed in detail with emphasis on opportunities for better management at local to global levels. The five key societal threats posed by reactive nitrogen are assessed, providing a framework for joined-up management of the nitrogen cycle in Europe, including the first cost-benefit analysis for different reactive nitrogen forms and future scenarios. Incorporating comprehensive maps, a handy technical synopsis and a summary for policy makers, this landmark volume is an essential reference for academic researchers across a wide range of disciplines, as well as stakeholders and policy makers. It is also a valuable tool in communicating the key environmental issues and future challenges to the wider public.
