Environmental monitoring is often criticized as being unscientific, too expensive, and
wasteful. While some monitoring studies do suffer from these problems, there are also many …

Acidification of rain-water is identified as one of the most serious environmental problems of
transboundary nature. Acid rain is mainly a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids depending …

Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain recent, widespread increases in
concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the surface waters of glaciated …

This paper discusses the evolution of science and policies to control acid rain in Europe and
the United States over the past several decades. Acid rain gained prominence in the late …

Surface water browning, the result of increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter
(DOM), has been widespread in northern ecosystems in recent decades. Here, we assess a …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in surface waters have increased across
much of E urope and N orth A merica, with implications for the terrestrial carbon balance …

The main aim of the international UNECE monitoring program ICP Waters under the
Convention of Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) is to assess, on a …

Elevated concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) such as humic substances in
raw water pose significant challenges during the processing of the commercial drinking …

There has been a long-term decline in nitrate (NO3−) concentration and export from several
long-term monitoring watersheds in New England that cannot be explained by current …

The harmful effect of acid rain is considered as one of the most serious environmental
problems in the modern globalized world. The effects of acid rain have reached dramatically …
