CONT

The causal relationship between certain detrimental effects and acid precipitation, including its accompanying pollutants, can usually be proven by means of comparisons using historical or chronological data or by means of experiments in laboratories.

CONT

First, methods of measurement may have been different, or even imperfect, so as to give deviating results. And even if chronological data show increasing acidification, this might be a natural process for the region involved, although this is not very likely.

[...] la concentration en sulfate, en aluminium et en manganèse augmente tandis que le pH et l'alcalinité diminuent.

Malheureusement, les données historiques sont souvent incomplètes ou imprécises.
