      Lecture 09. Acid gases 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
