Le déplacement des produits chimiques de l'air vers les surfaces du sol ou de l'eau peut se produire en raison d'un dépôt atmosphérique humide lorsque la pluie ou la neige entraînent le lessivage du produit chimique, ou en raison d'un dépôt sec qui se produit lorsque les particules sortent de l'air ou lorsque les gaz s'adsorbent aux surfaces. Le processus de dépôt renvoie les produits chimiques vers l'eau et le sol, où ils peuvent être stockés ou rendus à l'atmosphère par évaporation ou échange gazeux, continuant ainsi le cycle des polluants dans l'environnement. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20atmosph%C3%A9rique%20humide

All communities of lakes and streams may be affected by acid deposition and associated phenomena. Neuston organisms inhabiting or living upon or beneath the surface film, are likely to be especially affected by atmospheric deposition in particular because many pollutants become concentrated near the surface.

The flows of water and dissolved substances are monitored upon entering and leaving the lake, and these data are combined with measures of atmospheric inputs and water loss by evaporation, to calculate "substance budgets". Comparisons of the inputs measured by the budgets with inputs measured from wet deposition monitoring can provide a preliminary estimate of dry and gaseous deposition. 1, record 6, English, - substance%20budget
