Hapetustehoon is a term used in Estonian environmental discourse to describe the overall impact of acidification processes on ecosystems, infrastructure and cultural heritage. The concept encompasses chemical, biological and physical changes driven by increased acidity in soils, waters and the atmosphere, and it is often used to discuss consequences at local, regional or national levels.
The primary drivers of hapetustehoon are emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds from energy production, industry
Measurement and indicators used to assess hapetustehoon include soil and water pH, acid-neutralizing capacity, base cation
Mitigation focuses on reducing emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, restoring buffering capacity through soil or
