Acid rain: Acidity of precipitation | Japan Meteorological Agency
WEBLearn about acid rain caused by sulfur and nitrogen oxides, its impacts on ecosystems, infrastructure and human health, and how JMA observes and analyzes it. See data on the variations in the annual mean acidity of precipitation in Japan.
Global Trends of Acidity in Rainfall and Its Impact on Plants and Soil
WEBThis article reviews the factors, sources, and effects of acid rain (AR) on the ecosystem and human activities. It also presents the global and regional trends of AR and its impact on plants and soil systems based on various data sources.
Acid rain - Wikipedia
WEBAcid rain is precipitation with low pH, caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from human activities. Learn how acid rain forms, how it affects ecosystems and infrastructure, and how it was studied and regulated over time.
Acidic Precipitation in Japan - SpringerLink
WEBIn Japan approximately one-third of the days each year have some precipitation. In the summer there are many sudden rain squalls; from spring to the beginning of summer and then in the fall there is “weather-front-induced” precipitation.
Changes of annual mean acidity of precipitation | Japan …
WEBAt Minamitorishima, where the influence of human activity is weaker than at Ryori, the annual mean acidity of precipitation was well above pH 5.0 even in 2019. Acidity has remained strong since 2003, compared to the previous range of …
The World Solved Acid Rain. We Can Also Solve Climate Change
WEBOct 25, 2023 · An eye-opening example is acid rain; studying how the world tackled this geopolitically divisive problem can give us some insights into how we can tackle climate change today.
State of the Global Environment at a Glance: Acid Deposition
WEBAcid deposition refers to rain water with a pH of 5.6 or less and atmospheric deposition of acid particles. In recent years, acid rain as severe in nature as that in Europe and North America has been widely observed in Japan.
Home - Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia EANET
WEBThe EANET is the only network in East Asia to monitor both acid deposition and air pollution, producing high-quality open data, providing knowledge-sharing, capacity-building, and public awareness to government officials, researchers, and the general public, promoting regional cooperation.
Countermeasures against Acid Deposition | Global Environment …
WEBAcid deposition includes deposition in various forms of precipitation, such as rain, fog, mist, or snow (wet deposition), and deposition of acidic gases and aerosols without the intervention of precipitation (dry deposition). Acid deposition has far-reaching impacts.
Acid Rain Science and Politics in Japan - Taylor & Francis Online
WEBSep 30, 2020 · Using these concepts, Wilkening discusses six periods in the history of the “acid deposition problem” in Japan, each characterized by a unique (if sometimes vaguely defined) problem framework, and by the presence (or more often absence) of bridging objects between science and policy.
