 Nova Scotia Salmon Association: News and Issues: Acid Rain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The rivers in the monitoring program were chosen to provide a wide range of toxicity conditions, so as to be able to detect the biological and chemical changes that could result from either increasing or decreasing levels of acid precipitation.
The prevailing theory of the long-range transport of acid pollution is that gaseous sulfur and nitrogen pollutants are converted to acid in the atmosphere and the acid falls to earth primarily in precipitation.
The fate of Nova Scotia's Atlantic salmon resource played a significant role in the negotiation of international controls on acidic emissions, so it is important to monitor these stocks, and the chemistry of their rivers, to assess the chemical and biological responses to the scheduled decline in sulfur dioxide emissions.
