  • Freshwater acidification occurs when acidic inputs enter a body of fresh water through the weathering of rocks, invasion of acidifying gas (e.g. carbon dioxide), or by the reduction of acid anions, like sulfate and nitrate within the lake. Freshwater acidification is primarily caused by sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) entering the water from atmospheric depositions and soil leaching. Carbonic acid and dissolved carbon dioxide can also enter freshwaters in a similar manner associated with runoff through carbon dioxide-rich soils. Runoff that contains these compounds may be accompanied by acidifying hydrogen ions and inorganic aluminum, which can be toxic to marine organisms. Acid rain is also a contributor to freshwater acidification. It is created when SOx and NOx react with water, oxygen, and other oxidants within the clouds. The buffering capacity of soils and bedrocks within the freshwater ecosystem can contribute to the acidity of the water. Each freshwater reservoir has a capacity to resist changes in pH, but an excess input of acids into the reservoir can cause the buffering capacity to decrease, eventually causing the water to become more acidic. An increase in atmospheric CO2 affects freshwater acidity as more of it dissolves into water, the more acidic it becomes. It is difficult to quantify the effects of anthropogenic CO2 due to the various carbon fluxes in freshwater ecosystems. Rising freshwater acidification is harmful to various aquatic organisms. Nonetheless, there are many freshwater systems, including the Great Lakes, where the pH is decreasing, most likely due to CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere. (en)
  • L'expression acidification des eaux douces désigne les phénomènes d'acidification des eaux non marines, quand cette acidification est d'origine anthropique. Elle concerne notamment des eaux de lacs, étangs, mares, sources, rivières et fleuves, ainsi que les eaux de ruissellement voire de nappe phréatique. Par extension on inclut parfois les eaux saumâtres dans cette liste. Pour le chimiste, l'acidification est une diminution du pH des eaux douces. Quand elle est due à des composés azotés, l'acidification s'accompagne souvent de phénomènes d'eutrophisation. Quand elle est anthropique et qu'elle a des effets adverses sur les écosystèmes, c'est une des formes de la pollution de l'eau ; diffuse et « transfrontière ». (fr)
  • Le cause principali dell'acidificazione delle acque dolci sono le deposizioni atmosferiche e la lisciviazione nel suolo di SOx e NOx. L'acqua dolce diventa acida quando gli apporti acidi superano la quantità di basi prodotte nel corpo idrico attraverso l'erosione delle rocce, o in seguito alla riduzione di anioni acidi, come il solfato e il nitrato all'interno dell'acqua stessa. In un ecosistema sensibile all'acido, che include la roccia madre a lenta maturazionee le riserve di cationi esaurite, il deflusso di SOx e NOx sarà accompagnato da ioni idrogeno acidificanti e da alluminio inorganico, i quali possono essere tossici per gli organismi dulciacquicoli. Anche le piogge acide contribuiscono all'acidificazione dell'acqua dolce, tuttavia queste si formano quando SOx e NOx reagiscono con acqua, ossigeno e sostanze ossidanti presenti all'interno delle nuvole. Oltre a SOx e NOx, la capacità tampone dei suoli e delle rocce all'interno dell'ecosistema d'acqua dolce può contribuire all'acidità dell'acqua. Ogni corpo d'acqua dolce ha una capacità di tamponare gli acidi, tuttavia, con un eccesso di acidi nella riserva d'acqua, la capacità di tamponamento essenzialmente si "esaurirà" e l'acqua finirà per diventare più acida. L'aumento della CO2 atmosferica influenza l'acidità dell'acqua dolce in modo molto simile a quanto accade negli ecosistemi oceanici. Tuttavia, a causa dei vari flussi di carbonio negli ecosistemi d'acqua dolce, è difficile quantificare gli effetti della CO2 antropogenica. (it)
