La notion d’acidité, quelque peu ambiguë pour les roches, a été introduite au milieu du siècle dernier par Élie de Beaumont qui, en fonction de la teneur en SiO2 distingue les roches acides [plus de 65 %], les roches intermédiaires [entre 52 et 65 %], les roches basiques [entre 45 et 52 %] et les roches ultra-basiques [moins de 45 %]. 5, record 1, French, - roche%20acide

BIo-organic catalysts are effective in controlling odors and grease in lift stations, force mains and gravity mains by preventing the production of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and mercaptan and by substantially minimizing existing odors... Bio-organic catalysts rapidly degrade the slime layer and grease build-up inside collection system pipes and receiving basins. This removes the barrier that protects anaerobic organisms, limiting their activity. 2, record 2, English, - grease

A défaut de données historiques, des modèles chimiques ont été développés pour déterminer le degré de sensibilité et d’acidification des eaux de surface. Le modèle de Henriksen, par exemple, repose sur le principe selon lequel dans les conditions naturelles, la concentration en calcium est associée à un degré spécifique d’acidité. Dans les lacs affectés par les précipitations acides, pour une même concentration en calcium, l'acidité devrait être plus élevée. 1, record 3, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20de%20Henriksen

La mesure de SO4--en excès. Oden(1976), Henriksen(1979), Dickson(1975), Watt et coll.(1979) proposent l'utilisation des valeurs de SO4--en excès dans les eaux de surface comme un bon indicateur de l'acidification des lacs. La contamination des eaux de surface par H2SO4(pluies acides) amène un remplacement du HCO3-par les SO4--et l'apparition de CaSO4 dans la décharge des eaux au lieu de CaCO3. Le SO4--en excès n’ est pas corrélé par le pH, en raison de la forte relation du SO4--versus l'activité des microorganismes(cycle de SO4-H2S) et l'oxygène. 3, record 8, French, - en%20exc%C3%A8s
