Tackling the current air pollution has become crucial to China's long-term economic and social sustainable development. ACID RAIN Acid rain was discovered in the 19th century by Robert Angus Smith, a pharmacist from Manchester (England), who measured high levels of acidity in rain falling over industrial regions of England and contrasted them to the much lower levels he observed in less polluted areas near the coast. >> �(�v%�WdƝ��AH��۽��s�JE������˪̳

Acid rain can directly or indirectly affect plant physiological functions, especially photosynthesis. The acids like H 2 SO 4, HNO 3, HCl, H 2 CO 3 get mixed with rain water and fall down on the earth in the form of acid rain. MoleQla - ISSN 2173-0903, THE STUDY OF THE ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATIONS ACIDITY IN THE KYIV CITY DURING WINTER PERIOD, Tackling Air Pollution in China—What do We Learn from the Great Smog of 1950s in LONDON, Exploring Environmental Issues: An Integrated Approach. /D [1 0 R /XYZ null 437 null] In overall, rural area recorded with higher acidity of precipitation at total average of pH 5.54 ± 0.39 compared to urban area at pH 5.77 ± 0.26. Significant reduction in the SO2, NOx emission and deposition of acid have been occurred via the active implementation of Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), Acid Rain Program (ARP) and NOx budget training program(NBP). >> Acid rain damages the cuticles of the epidermis by direct Root elongation was suppressed and leaf epidermal cells contact with plant surfaces, and causes necrosis and chlorosis showed necrosis [18]. << Significant reduction in the SO2, NOx emission and deposition of acid have been occurred via the active implementation of Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), Acid Rain Program (ARP) and NOx budget training, Thinning of Antarctic ozone layer during spring season has been observed since 1980s, largest depletion occurred during the period between 1980 and 2000, incoming UV (particularly UVB & UVC) during the Antarctic spring causes deleterious effects such as skin burns, melanoma, reduction in agricultural food production and climatological changes. Scientists have dis-covered that burning fossil fuels creates acid rain through air pollution. Since the prolonged, severe smog that blanketed many Chinese cities in first months of 2013, living in smog has become "normal" to most people living in mainland China. They may also precipitate in other forms such as sleet, snow, hail, or even fog. Interaction of acid rain with environmental components results in their degradation. and W. Asthana (2001). From the findings, it showed that acid rain occurred during the southwest monsoon season with the range of pH values from 4.95 ± 0.13 to 6.40 ± 0.03 and the total average of pH 5.71 ± 0.32. The aim of this work is to highlight the importance of air quality indexes (AQIs) in air quality assessment.Three different long-term AQIs - Long-term Air Quality Index (LAQx), Aggregated Air Quality Index (AAQI), Oak Ridge Air Quality Index (ORAQI) - were calculated and compared, using data between 2007 and 2016. 29 0 obj >> o"n�������G�Io�ƣ[�h��ț.Al��4���Dg�M>L�e�h3"�)����CN����be=��L���˻�{O����yu�wy�����Oв-�R+G�ZEt�ˬ����D�uZ�x��640��h��G^�ݑ�v����^��U������WOy���r5�4N$#Ғ���_�E�x�Cq��Y/�z�fE������y��X��3�oV�?yB�җ�BW�Ӳ,V�����6M[i���|^T��y'�ٹ����j��)�qsE�]�N[u_�5

The enzyme ATP synthase is the key in photosynthetic energy conversion, and thus, it affects plant photosynthesis. << >> << << When the pollutants are vented into the atmosphere by tall smoke stakes, molecules of SO2 and NOx are caught up in the prevailing winds, where they interact in the presence of sunlight with vapours to … If there is further deterioration of PH levels below a certain low level, making it super acidic, the rain water simply comes to be called as acid rain. The enzyme ATP synthase is the key in photosynthetic energy conversion, and thus, it affects plant photosynthesis. endobj 18.04.2015 from Ground level Ozone US EPA (2014) Health /D [1 0 R /XYZ null 370 null] The study area is Veszprém city, one of the oldest urban areas in the west of Hungary, lies approximately 15 km of Balaton Lake. Acid rain occurs when these gases react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form various acidic compounds sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions the result is a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid This paper provide information about types of Acid rain is a dangerous ecological factor, which strongly influences the decreasing of forest ecosystem productivity and reproduction.
