Lake Acidification

Lake Acidification is the process by which a lake's pH decreases due to the deposition of atmospheric acidic compounds, primarily sulfuric and nitric acids, resulting from anthropogenic emissions, thereby distinguishing it from natural lake acidification processes by its direct linkage to industrial pollution and its impact on aquatic ecosystem integrity.
