Description:
The Acidic Deposition Phenomenon and Its Effects: Critical Assessment Document (CAD) is a summary, integration, and interpretation of the current scientific understanding of acidic deposition. It is firmly based upon The Acidic Deposition Phenomenon and Its Effects: Critical Assessment Review Papers (CARP), PB85-100030 and PB85-100048, a multi-authored comprehensive critical review of the published scientific literature of the atmospheric phenomena and effects of acidic deposition, augmented by additional current scientific references. The authors of this integrative summary have attempted to draw together and interpret evidence from disparate sections of the CARP. Reference is made, where possible, to CARP sections providing information for the CAD analyses; citations are made to additional references. Quotations and paraphrases of conclusions and observations from the CARP provide much of the material in the CAD. As such, they represent the conclusions of the CARP authors interpreted by the CAD authors. Some additional evidence has been developed by the CAD authors, and the conclusions drawn from this information are solely those of the CAD authors.
