Contributions of natural and anthropogenic sources to ambient ammonia in the Athabasca Oil Sands and north-western Canada

Contributions of natural and anthropogenic sources to ambient ammonia in the Athabasca Oil Sands and north-western Canada

Atmospheric ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) is a short-lived pollutant that plays an important role in aerosol chemistry and nitrogen deposition. Dominant NH<sub>3</sub> emissions are from agriculture and forest fires, both of which are increasing globally. Even remote regions wi...
