- W1697879210 abstract "A major new review has found that the chemical climate of the UK has changed dramatically over the last 30 years, and continues to change as a consequence of UK and European policies to solve air pollution problems.Sulphur emissions and concentrations have greatly declined, rain is no longer acid, and soils and freshwaters are slowly recovering.The findings are contained within the Review of Transboundary Air Pollution (RoTAP), published today, which examined changing patterns in acidification, eutrophication, ground level ozone and heavy metals in the UK.Compilation of the RoTAP review, led by the NERC Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH), involved 60 scientists and reviewers over three years. The project was funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the UK’s Devolved Administrations. The latest report is the first detailed analysis since 2001, and shows the effects of policies introduced throughout Europe to mitigate long range transport of pollutants in Europe.Not all messages from the review process were positive. The assessment team found that although peak ground level ozone concentrations have declined by about 30% as a result of controls on precursor (chemicals that lead to ozone production in the atmosphere) emissions in the UK and continental Europe, background ozone concentrations have grown by about 15% due to increases in precursor emissions elsewhere in the northern hemisphere. These changes mean that ground level ozone remains a threat to crops and natural vegetation.The review also found that deposition of nitrogen in the UK changed little over the last 20 years, despite large reductions in emissions of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NOx). The main benefit of reduced NOx emissions has instead been reduced export from the UK. Widespread effects of nitrogen deposition include a loss of UK biodiversity. There is strong evidence that nitrogen deposition has reduced species richness (the number of different species) in a range of habitats of high conservation value over large areas of the UK.http://www.ceh.ac.uk/news/news_archive/UK-environment-air-pollution-policies_2012_36.html" @default.
