Acid deposition is a general term that includes more than simply acid rain. Acid deposition primarily results from the transformation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides into dry or moist secondary pollutants such as sulfuric acid (H2SO4), ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and nitric acid (HNO3). The transformation of SO2 and NOx to acidic particles and vapor's occurs as these pollutants are transported in the atmosphere over distances of hundreds to thousands of kilometers. Acidic particles and vapor's are deposited via two processes - wet and dry deposition. Wet deposition is acid rain, the process by which acids with a pH normally below 5.6 are removed from the atmosphere in rain, snow, sleet or hail. Dry deposition takes place when particles such as fly ash, sulphates, nitrates, and gases (such as SO2 and NOx), are deposited on, or absorbed onto, surfaces. The gases can then be converted into acids when they contact water. My experience was with the Dry deposition. Years ago my company used scrubbers to filter out acids but something went wrong with the scrubbers and gases were let into the atmosphere. These gases then floated down onto the parking lot where 100's of cars were parked including mine. When I arrived to leave for home after work all the cars paint were dissolving. The company paid for new paint jobs on all the cars damaged by the acids. When wet deposition is acid rain as in eastern Canada many of the water and soil systems in this region lack natural alkalinity - such as a lime base - and therefore cannot neutralize acid naturally. Canada cannot win the fight against acid rain on its own. Only reducing acidic emissions in both Canada and the U.S. will stop acid rain. More than half of the acid deposition in eastern Canada originates from emissions in the United States. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is generally a byproduct of industrial processes and burning of fossil fuels. I guess it really is time for Electric cars, isn't it?

I believe the chemical compounds yet salt isn't a powerful element on your tank the two. maximum folk do not difficulty to examine and take with none attention somebody itemizing adverse webpages as a source is evidence adequate. particularly a 6 year previous convention which in case you examine replaced into the sole one that concept salt replaced right into a powerful scientific care. 15 different vets on an analogous 2001 convention have not got faith an analogous. study slightly greater with regard to the convention. I asked my vet while my tank have been given ich not in line with undesirable information from the internet. She appeared up ich in 3 distinctive books. drugs have been the vets selection for killing off this parasite. there replaced right into a scientific care talked approximately as salt dips which get rid of the vast majority of the parasite. regardless of the shown fact that it does not get rid of the ich from the tank. No the place did it say that salt killed the Ichthyophthirius parasite. it does regardless of the shown fact that kill different lesser varieties of parasites in some water. I even have researched water conditioners. those conditioners clear out water via salt. regrettably, my fish nevertheless have been given ich. My vet stated ich parasites are in our water each and all of the time. they're going to purely attack a weakened or under pressure fish. the different time they gained't harm the fish. I even have study lots of the pages indexed here and that i'd desire to concur with some human beings here, I too did not see everywhere in the records the place the ichthyophthirius parasite is easily killed by utilising utilising salt. Lessened according to probability. i visit stick to my vet's suggestion vs. the internet. She treats my koi while want be and that i've got faith her in specific. unfastened from chemical compounds is the main suitable way regardless of the shown fact that there are cases i does not threat the wellbeing of my fish for a dumb perception of not utilising drugs in tanks or ponds. My stubborness and satisfaction do not outweigh the affection I even have for my fish. i think of human beings would desire to provide up telling individuals to apply salt to handle ich. This places their fish's wellbeing in threat.
