| Abstract | Acidic deposition studies require data on emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--the primary chemical compounds involved in acidic deposition processes--as well as data on other compounds involved in acid-base chemistry, such as ammonia, alkaline dust particles, primary sulfates, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride. The National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) and other research organizations have developed emissions inventories and emissions trends estimates, some of which are at a very resolved level of spatial, temporal, and species-component detail. These inventories and estimates are needed to support models such as the Regional Atmospheric Deposition Model and policy-oriented studies. Since most of the emissions values are estimated, not measured, they are subject to uncertainty. |
