This book provides a unique overview of research methods over the
past 25 years assessing critical loads and temporal effects of the
deposition of air pollutants. It includes critical load methods and
applications addressing acidification, eutrophication and heavy
metal pollution of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Applications
include examples for each air pollution threat, both at local and
regional scale, including Europe, Asia, Canada and the US. The book
starts with background information on the effects of the deposition
of sulphur, nitrogen and heavy metals and geochemical and
biological indicators for risk assessments. The use of those
indicators is then illustrated in the assessment of critical loads
and their exceedances and in the temporal assessment of air
pollution risks. It also includes the most recent developments of
assessing critical loads and current and future risks of soil and
water chemistry and biodiversity under climate change, with a
special focus on nitrogen. The book thus provides a complete
overview of the knowledge that is currently used for the scientific
support of policies in the field of air pollution control to
protect ecosystem services.
