English term

precipitation chemistry

English to Malay Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng atmospheric science
Precipitation chemistry remains a major environmental issue in several parts of the world (e.g., eastern North America, south-east Asia, and Europe) due to concerns over acid deposition, eutrophication, trace metal deposition, ecosystem health, biogeochemical cycling, and global climate change. In more recent years, concerns have expanded from wet deposition alone to include such considerations as air concentrations, dry deposition, and surface-air exchange, particularly as they relate to the atmospheric lifetimes of acidifying species, greenhouse gases, and oxidizing species. In spite of these concerns, little has been done to bring these additional factors to the framework of GAW, primarily due to budgetary limitations.

what about kimia kerpasan? Thank you very much. I think this translation is acceptable. However I think another term that also need to be considered is "kimia kerpasan" as "kerpasan" means "hujan, hujan batu, salji dsb yg terhasil drpd pemeluapan wap air di udara yg jatuh ke permukaan bumi" (Source: PRPM) What do you think about it?

kimia pemendakan

The compatible term is "kimia pemendakan". Although "precipitation" here also can be translated as "titisan" but as we read the explanation provided by our fellow, "pemendakan" is more suitable. The already used term can be found in the attached website. From MOSTI and manuscript abstract keyword.

All the best! Wslm.
Example sentence:
