Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Spatial patterns and trends over time in the emissions of sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and ammonia are described. The relative importance of wet, dry and occult pathways to acid deposition is considered and measured and modelled spatial patterns of wet and dry deposition presented. The variation in wet deposition over a range of timescales and the relationship between emissions and deposition are examined.
