Abstract
Historical evidence of acid deposition and its effects which was presented at Muskoka, Ontario in September, 1985 is summarized. This evidence consists of written records of the past chemistry and biology of atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic systems; it also includes evidence from archived collections which were “revisited”, from tree rings, and from the chemical and biological “records” in lake sediment and peat from which histories of airborne contaminants and ecosystem responses to these contaminants were inferred.
