Abstract

Presence of certain polluting substances in the atmosphere causes disturbance of natural pH values that leads to acidic precipitation occurrence. Measurement of pH of precipitation in the area of the town of Bijeljina has been done since 2008 and the sampling has been performed at three points. This paper presents measurement results of surveys for a period of one year in graphs and tables. During the winter months low pH of precipitation were recorded due to increased emission of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide into the air.
