CONT

Air pollution and its effects on various ecosystems has been a subject of increasing controversy.... Historically, the observed pollution damage was believed to be due mainly to sulphur dioxide pollution. Recent research has indicated that other factors including nitrogen oxides, ozone and other photo-oxidants, and various climatic conditions contribute to the problem.

OBS

Between 1972 and 1977 several studies confirmed the hypothesis that air pollutants could travel several thousands of kilometres before deposition and damage occurred. This also implied that cooperation at the international level was necessary to solve problems such as acidification. In response to these acute problems, a High-level Meeting within the Framework of the ECE on the Protection of the Environment was held at ministerial level in November 1979 in Geneva. It resulted in the signature of the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution by 34 Governments and the European Community(EC). The Convention was the first international legally binding instrument to deal with problems of air pollution on a broad regional basis. Besides laying down the general principles of international cooperation for air pollution abatement, the Convention sets up an institutional framework bringing together research and policy. The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution entered into force in 1983. It has been extended by eight specific protocols.

CONT

These plans have to be built on a knowledge of the problems that is as comprehensible as possible, including an understanding of the local, regional and global nature of the problems. Such knowledge can only be obtained through international and interdisciplinarian cooperation.

CONT

Precipitation chemistry monitoring networks in Canada and the United States are three types : global background, national trends and research support. The small number of global background sites are located in remote areas where there is little or no local or even regional pollution. Such sites include American Samoa, Barrow, Alaska, and others. These stations identify long-term trends in the global spread of pollution.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Relatif à une distance de l'ordre d'une dizaine de milliers de kilomètres ou à une distance supérieure à 72 heures de transport atmosphérique.

CONT

L'augmentation de l'acidité des précipitations sur la plus grande partie de l'Europe et sur une partie des Etats-Unis est en fait reliée à un problème beaucoup plus grave de changement du climat chimique causé par une variété d'émissions dans l'atmosphère. Ces émissions peuvent créer une situation locale, régionale ou globale dépendant de la durée de vie des polluants rejetés dans l'atmosphère.

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Lakes, rivers, and watersheds are the ultimate "collectors" of atmospheric pollution. Thus, one research approach has been to operate lakes and watersheds as large-scale, "calibrated" collectors, since the surface environment experiences a total loading, due to a combination of all deposition processes. This approach has led to establishing calibrated watersheds as monitoring sites which are combinations of streams, lakes, and plant communities under intensive measurement. In these watersheds, hydrologic weirs are set up in stream entering and leaving small study lakes, or settling pools.

  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Bassin versant ayant fait l'objet d'un étalonnage et pour lequel on peut mesurer avec exactitude toutes les substances qui y pénètrent ou qui en sortent de façon à obtenir des bilans précis de la circulation des substances.

CONT

Le rôle des bassins jaugés est essentiellement de quantifier les dépôts de polluants et la réaction des écosystèmes à ces dépôts, de façon à éventuellement prédire l'impact de différentes charges de polluants. C'est pourquoi une partie importante des ressources du TGDPA est consacrée au bilan ionique; c'est-à-dire à la quantification des dépôts acides, à l'étude de l'évolution des polluants dans l'écosystème et à l'analyse de l'effet quantitatif de ces polluants sur la qualité de l'eau.
