Abstract
Atmospheric deposition is widely recognized as a major environmental problem. The release in this century of anthropogenic emissions has polluted the atmosphere and changed its chemistry. Atmospheric deposition of acids and bases occurs through both wet and dry mechanisms. Wet deposition is the result of precipitation removing gases and large and fine particles from the atmosphere. Dry deposition is the transfer of gases and particles to the ground surface in the absence of precipitation. Changes over time in these components of deposition reflect changes in the meteorology and chemistry of the atmosphere, including the effects of emission changes.
