Lessons learned from acid deposition

Acid in the Environment Lessons Learned and Future Prospects provides an overview of the important science and policy issues pertaining to acid deposition. Acid in the Environment uses an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on important ecological impacts of acid deposition, the transboundary nature of the pollutants that cause acid rain, and domestic and international policies designed to reduce the emission of these pollutants. By emphasizing issues such as the scientific lessons learned from acid dep-...

The overall goals of this interdisciplinary conference were to summarize scientific and policy lessons learned from the attempt to mitigate acid deposition, and to discuss the future of transboundary pollutants and market-based emission control systems. Anthony Janetos, Vice President of the Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment gave the keynote address providing the conferees with an historical perspective on lessons learned from the acid deposition research experience. In the evening address, Paul Portney, the former President and Senior Fellow of Resources for the Future discussed economical benefits and costs of air pollution... 

Acid deposition is an on-going, long-term environmental problem with a greater environmental impact than previously projected. Since many ecosystems are now more sensitive to the input of additional acids, their recovery from the adverse affects of acid rain will most likely be delayed. In Acid in the Environment, vjq provide the perspectives of various authors with respect to the lessons learned and future prospects associated with the issue of acid deposition. We use an interdisciplinary approach that combines a discussion of important ecological issues associated with acid deposition with an analysis of domestic and international policies to control the emission of pollutants that cause acid rain. In this context. Acid in the Environ-...
