Happonaanniminen
Happonaanniminen, also known as acidification, refers to the process by which the pH level of a substance, typically water, decreases, making it more acidic. This phenomenon occurs when acidic compounds, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), or nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), dissolve in water. The most well-known example of happonaanniminen is the gradual acidification of oceans due to the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a process known as ocean acidification.
In natural environments, happonaanniminen can result from both natural and human-induced factors. Volcanic eruptions release large
The effects of happonaanniminen can be severe and far-reaching. In aquatic ecosystems, lower pH levels disrupt
Mitigation strategies for happonaanniminen include reducing emissions of acidic pollutants through the adoption of cleaner energy
