| zure neerslag | acid rain | |
| zure neerslag | acid deposition (A type of pollution which washes out of the atmosphere as dilute sulphuric and nitric acids. It tends to be a regional rather than a global phenomenon, linked to particular industrial activities and meteorological conditions. It includes rain, more than normally acidic snow, mist, sleet, fog, gas and dry particles. It upsets the balance of nature, disrupting ecosystems, and destroys forests and woodlands, plants and crops; kills aquatic life by altering the chemical balance of lakes and rivers and corrodes building materials and fabrics. The pollutants are caused principally by discharges from power station chimneys of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil) | |
| zure neerslag | acidic precipitation | |
| zure neerslag/precipitatie | acid deposition | |
| zure oplossingen | wastes from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use (MFSU) of acids | |
| zure oplossingen | waste acidic solutions | |
| zure planeet | acid earth | |
| zure regen | acid deposition | |
| zure regen | acid rain (Rain having a pH less than 5.6. The acidity results from chemical reactions occurring when water, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, generally released by industrial processes, are chemically transformed into sulphuric and nitric acids) | |
| zure regen | acidic precipitation | |
| zure regen-piek | acid pulse | |
| zure regen-precursor | acid rain precursor |
