Description

The purpose of this short paper is to highlight some of the scientific and management components of acid deposition as it pertains to northeastern Alberta. These components include: the evaluation of surface waters at risk; the chemistry of Alberta precipitation; actual deposition rates of acidic materials; the proposed, scientifically acceptable deposition rates of these acidic materials; and the magnitude of current emissions of acid forming gases in Alberta.
