Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia

Acid deposition is a potentially critical environmental threat in countries with fast-growing economies and high dependence on fossil fuels consumption such as in the East Asia region. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide emissions from fossil fuels consumption, together with ammonia are the primary precursors of acid deposition. There are serious concerns that the high levels of acid-forming pollutants emitted from human activities, in particular, energy production, could lead to potential acidification problems as well as other related air pollution issues affecting the region.
