Forests in particular must endure the combined stresses imposed by climatic extremes/changes, invasion of insects and diseases, and forest management practices in addition to the added stress of acidic pollutants. All of these stresses modify forest health and productivity. Under this complex situation, it has not been possible to establish the exact role that acidification has had on forest decline nor to develop critical deposition levels at which damages are believed to become important 14), However, the geographical coincidence of forest decline and elevated levels of acidic pollutants offer strong evidence that a linkages exists.

Although the principle has been incorporated into a number of international directives and conventions, e.g. the Convention on Climate Change, it has found only limited judicial support. For example the EU failed in a case to ban US beef on the grounds that it contained growth hormone which may have a detrimental effect on human health.
