Citrus fruits are the highest value fruit crop in terms of international trade.

Around 70 of the world's total citrus production is grown in the Northern Hemisphere, in particular countries around the Mediterranean and the United States, although Brazil is also one of the largest citrus producers.

It's kind of a stress absorber, or a shock absorber for the acidity of a solution.

Acid rain from cities and industries leeches the soil of vital nutrients, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

In the gaseous form, this species is a significant pollutant, being the primary agent in acid rain.

It is thought that this species thrives in the acidic environment of caries and is thought to slow the development of dental caries.

So this is where there's a dye that changes with the acidity, and so when, as the bacteria metabolize whoa!

Worldwide trade in citrus fruits didn't appear until the 19th century and trade in orange juice developed as late as 1940.

Exchange markets have been established for environmental commodities, such as credits for sulfur dioxide, the gas largely responsible for acid rain.

But there are also regional environmental problems, like acid rain from the Midwest to the Northeast, and from Western Europe to the Arctic, and from the Midwest out the Mississippi into the dead zone of the Gulf of Mexico.

We want to talk about storing energy, and unfortunately the best thing we've got going is something that was developed in France a hundred and fifty years ago, the lead acid battery.

The Hartwell Paper argues that the Kyoto approach, based as it is on past experience with relatively simple environmental problems like acid rain, was always doomed to failure.

Evaluation of a strategy for environmentally sound management of hazardous and other wastes, such as lead acid batteries and biomedical and health care wastes, for impacts on the marine environment

International watersheds, fisheries, acid rain, air pollution and climate change are transboundary environmental challenges that require cooperation between countries in order to be addressed effectively.

In the United States, fossil fuel combustion for electric power generation is responsible for 65 of all emissions of sulfur dioxide, the main component of acid rain.

Other areas of Japan apos s environmental aid include forest conservation and afforestation, pollution control, including reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and prevention of acid rain, and protection of wildlife.

One issue in this synthesis route is the removal of the catalyst support via an acid treatment, which sometimes could destroy the original structure of the carbon nanotubes.

Yet, in China alone, coal mining accidents kill more than 2,000 people each year and coal is a leading cause of smog, acid rain, global warming, and air toxicity.

Dilute sulfuric acid is a constituent of acid rain, which is formed by atmospheric oxidation of sulfur dioxide in the presence of water i.e., oxidation of sulfurous acid.

More recent threats have come from environmental pollution on the banks of Yamuna River including acid rain due to the Mathura Oil Refinery, which was opposed by Supreme Court of India directives.

Unlike, say, acid rain or smog, it is not a conventional environmental problem. It is as much an energy problem, an economic development problem, or a land use problem.

Droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, desertification, air pollution, acid rains, nuclear radiation and chemical and industrial accidents and old and emerging pathogens also belong to this category the pandemic of AIDS serves as a vivid example of an emerging disease.

In the 1980s and 1990s, widespread concern about acid rain pollution in North America and Europe led to extensive research and assessment efforts that greatly enhanced understanding of long distance transport of sulphur and nitrogen oxide pollution.

What defines the Kyoto approach, of course, is a single minded focus on cutting carbon dioxide emissions. The Hartwell Paper argues that the Kyoto approach, based as it is on past experience with relatively simple environmental problems like acid rain, was always doomed to failure.

An important application of space technology relating to the atmospheric environment is indirect, through the observation of short and long term changes in vegetation resulting from climate change due to greenhouse gases, from acid rain or from other types of air pollution.
