Download or read book Acid Deposition Environmental Economic and Policy Issues written by Donald Adams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 558 pages. 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.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of base metal and gold supply are based on the years 1946-85, subdivided into decades to examine time trends. Money values are expressed in constant 1987 Canadian dollars. Appraisals are made on a potential value, before-tax basis, including all direct costs and revenues associated with exploration and development, then on an after-tax basis considering the application of federal and Newfoundland income and mining taxation systems to the overall potential values. The level and components of mining taxation are compared to other provinces and territories and base metal and gold activities are compared to those in Canada and in the Appalachian Region. The capability developed to assess the economic potential in Newfoundland is applied to evaluate and compare the impact of regional development policy options, including geologic data base development, direct assistance for mineral exploration, support for new mine development, production stage incentives, and assistance for mines faced with temporary or permanent closure.
