Air Quality and Deposition

  • Chapter
The Response of Western Forests to Air Pollution

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 97))

Abstract

The pollution climate of an area is influenced by meteorology and emissions of air pollutants at local and regional scales. The physical and chemical state of the atmosphere determines pollutant transport, dilution, chemical transformation, and ultimately deposition. In many cases, meteorology is more important than atmospheric chemistry in controlling the location and the form in which the pollutants are deposited (Cape and Unsworth 1987). Estimating pollutant concentrations and loadings to forests in the West requires a detailed analysis of emissions, pollutant transport, dilution, chemical transformations, and deposition processes, together with estimates of the relative contribution by each depositional process to total deposition.
