英文摘要 | Using deposition observations from precipitation samples collected by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program at 125 sites across the United States, we show that the mean wet deposition flux of non-sea-salt chloride (NSS Cl−) has decreased by 83% throughout the eastern United States between 1998 and 2018. We find that 30% of the sites switch from having excess Cl− to being depleted in Cl−. We attribute the observed decreases in NSS Cl− deposition to a 95% decrease in U.S. anthropogenic HCl emissions since 1998. We propose that industry emission controls that remove HCl as a cobenefit of NOx and SO2 have caused significant decreases in NSS Cl− deposition throughout the eastern United States, in addition to shifts from coal to natural gas and to coal with lower Cl− content. Our analysis implies that the lower tropospheric reactive inorganic chlorine burden was larger over the United States in the past than it is today. ©2020. The Authors. |
