What Does NAPAP Stand For?

NAPAP stands for National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program

The National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) is a comprehensive research initiative established to evaluate the effects of acidic precipitation on the environment. It focuses on understanding the sources, atmospheric processes, and ecological impacts of acid rain, while also assessing the effectiveness of regulatory measures. NAPAP conducts scientific assessments, gathers data, and disseminates findings to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and the public about the implications of acid precipitation on natural and human-made systems.
