Abstract

The present method was developed in 1989, following recognition that ammonia pollution was a major threat to vegetation (forests, heaths, bogs, fens, mires), soil and drinking water in The Netherlands (see chapter 5, this volume). It has been tested extensively over the last 12 years in most parts of the country [5].
