The interface between air and water exists not only as the boundary between two bulk phases(air/sea), but also as the boundary between dispersed and bulk phases(atmospheric droplet/air). Hence, the study of the thermodynamic properties of compounds at the air-water interface is of special relevance in atmospheric chemistry. 4, record 2, English, - air%2Dwater%20interface

The Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network, CAPMoN, is operated by the Meteorological Service of Canada in order to study the regional patterns and trends of acid rain; and gas, particulate and precipitation chemistry... The network began operating in mid-1983. CAPMoN updated and replaced two older networks known as the Canadian Network for Sampling Precipitation(CANSAP) and the Air and Precipitation Network(APN). 1, record 3, English, - Canadian%20Network%20for%20Sampling%20Precipitation

La Direction de la recherche sur la qualité de l'air est l'une des divisions de la Direction générale des sciences atmosphériques et climatiques, du Service météorologique du Canada, d'Environnement Canada. Lors de sa création, en 1971, la Direction avait comme mandat d'étudier la chimie et la physique de l'atmosphère en ce qui a trait aux pluies acides. À l'heure actuelle, les activités de son effectif scientifique, le plus important regroupement d'experts en questions atmosphériques du Canada, consistent à examiner divers problèmes de pollution atmosphérique. 1, record 4, French, - Direction%20de%20la%20recherche%20sur%20la%20qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27air

Evidence of increasing precipitation acidity in north-west Europe was first documented in a Swedish government report in 1967(Odén 1976). An area of enhanced rainfall acidity centred in the Low Countries of western Europe was identified by the European air chemistry study for the period 1955-1968.... 1, record 5, English, - air%20chemistry%20study
