Abstract

Sulfur and Nitrogen Budgets in the Territories of the Former Soviet Union Invited contribution A. Ryaboshapko*, S. Paramonov, S. Gromov, O Afinogenova, H Rodhe, E Kjellstrom, L Gallardo-Klenner and D Moller * Institute of Global Climate and Ecology, Glebovskaja str., 20-B, Moscow 107258 Russia The global atmospheric cycles of many pollutants, especially sulfur and nitrogen compounds, have been strongly affected by human activity during the last decades.
