Lecture 09. Acid gas deposition, controlling routes and principles Lesson
Key issues:
- Acid in the air: sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric, carbonic
- Sources and emission periods to the air
- Formation: chemically through oxidation, dissolution and dissociation
- Wet deposition: acid rain, acid fog, acid haze
- Impacts: microorganism, fish, forests, agriculture, structure
- Sulfuric acid rain: gas- and aqueous-phase of SO2
- Nitric acid fog: polluted coastal air
- Control: regulation, neutralizing agent, emission control
