Overview
Acidification of the environment--caused by the emission of sulfur and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere--is one of the most serious side effects of industrialization. This volume provides a thorough introduction to this global problem. A basic overview describes acidification processes occurring in the air, water, and soil, and relates other facts known about the acidification of the tropical environment. There is also discussion of potential future impacts of emissions which cause acidification. Includes a series of case studies focusing on acidification problems in specific countries in the tropics.Book Details
