ABSTRACT
The deposition of acidifying compounds in Gdask region has been investigated. Bulk wet (in the open field), and throughfall (in the forest) stand, depositions were measured from 1994 till 2001. The deposition of sulphates, nitrates and ammonium salts has been analysed. The obtained results are compared with the critical deposition for sulphur and nitrogen related to the Gdask region. It has been stated that exceeding critical load was not observed for sulphur, while it was observed for nitrogen.
