An assessment of LRTAP acidification of surface waters in Atlantic Canada / by Geoffrey D. Howell and Peter Brooksbank.: En37-598/1987E-PDF

"This report analyses lake and river water quality data from Atlantic Canada in an attempt to provide a regional overview of the terrain sensitivity and the extent of LRTAP induced acidification. Southwestern Nova Scotia, northern Cape Breton Island and the west and south coast of Newfoundland have been identified as the areas which are the most sensitive to acidification. Surface waters in these areas show signs of acidification resulting from the combined effects of acid loadings from natural (i.e. organic acids) and anthropogenic (LRTAP) source"--Abstract, page iii.
