Reflections on 200 years of Nitrogen, 20 years later
Acid rain and air pollution
Because of its serious large-scale effects on ecosystems and its transboundary nature, acid rain received for a few decades at the end of the last century wide scientific and public interest, leading to coordinated policy actions in Europe and North America. Through these actions, in particular those under the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, air emissions were substantially reduced, and ecosystem impacts decreased. Wid…
The Nitrogen Cascade
Human production of food and energy is the dominant continental process that breaks the triple bond in molecular nitrogen (N 2 ) and creates reactive nitrogen (Nr) species. Circulation of anthropogenic Nr in Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere has a wide variety of consequences, which are magnified with time as Nr moves along its biogeochemical pathway. The same atom of Nr can cause multiple effects in the atmosphere, in terrestrial ec…
Reactive Nitrogen and Public Policies for Environmental Protection
A core goal of both US and European pollution control policies has been to establish rules and regulations pertaining to the movement of reactive-nitrogen (Nr) through the environment. This is manifest in US federal legislation such as the Clean Air Act Amendments and the Clean Water Act Amendments and in various protocols of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and its Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CL…

Reactive Nitrogen and The World
This paper examines the impact of food and energy production on the global N cycle by contrasting N flows in the late-19th century with those of the late-20th century. We have a good understanding of the amounts of reactive N created by humans, and the primary points of loss to the environment. However, we have a poor understanding of nitrogen's rate of accumulation in environmental reservoirs, which is problematic because of the cascading effect…

Acid Rain and Other Airborne Pollutants
SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION GATHERED MOMENTUM in the middle of the nineteenth century, human activities have added more and more substances to those that circulate naturally among the air, water, soil, and all living things (Smith, 1872). Almost everything human beings do on a large scale influences the chemistry of the atmosphere. Some of the airborne substances introduced by human activity are beneficial for life in general and human life i…
