"Acidification in Finland" has been the theme of HAPRO, the Finnish Acidifica tion Research Programme, in 1985-1990. HAPRO has been a multidisciplinary programme funded by the Finnish government. Seven universities, eight govern mental research institutes and numerous expert consultants have taken part in this work. The objective of the programme has been to contribute to air pollution abatement and the management of natural resources by obtaining and processing facts, information and understanding on the so-called acidic precipitation issue. In practise, the programme has organized surveys of emissions, compiled measure ments of concentrations and deposition, documented the existing state of Finnish ecosystems, carried out investigations on cause-and-effect relationships, de veloped, tested and applied different kinds of models including integrated assess ment models and supported international exchange of information. After a short planning phase of the programme, the General Plan for HAPRO was adopted at the end of 1984. The years 1985 and 1986 can be considered as the period of establishing the research. Most of the research measurements and analyses were done in 1987 to 1988 supporting the documentation period in 1989. HAPRO will come to completion in 1990 with emphasis on assessment and the exchange of information. Chapters of this book were first drafted in the spring of 1989. An international reviewing panel chaired by Dr. Leen Hordijk from the Netherlands met in Helsinki in June 1989 to examine the manuscripts.
