Before climate change, the acidification of surface waters and the soil used to be the most widely known environmental problem. The indicator reflects its root causes and determining factors.
The total emissions show a monotonous downward trend. (In recent years, even nitrogen oxide emissions from transport decreased.) Nevertheless, the amount of sulphur dioxide emissions has started to grow again, partly due to changes in heating habits.
