Acid deposition

• the accumulation of acids on earths surface

• conversion of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides to acids that return to earth as rain snow or fog

• solar radiation captured with photovoltaic cells that convert light energy to electrical energy.

• concentration of trace substances such as carbon monoxide sulfur dioxide nitrogen oxides Hydrocarbons

  and solid particulates

  at a greater level than occurs in average air
