Atmospheric deposition (acid rain)

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the environmental-chemistry subtree

SO₂ + NOx oxidation to H₂SO₄ + HNO₃ + atmospheric-transport → wet/dry deposition lowers rainfall pH below 5.6. Ecosystem effects: forest-decline, lake-acidification, structural corrosion. US-EPA Acid Rain Program 1990 cap-and-trade…
