Influence of radon on the acidification of atmospheric precipitation

Resumo

Mechanisms of the acidification of precipitation at the expense of radiochemical effects were considered. The results of natural measurements of physicochemical and metrological parameters (pH, T, and radiation background) of atmospheric precipitation (rain and snow) are reported. The possible influence of radon radioactivity (decay energy) on physicochemical processes in the atmosphere was analyzed. A hypothesis was proposed on the mechanism of this process.
