The phrase "atmospheric acidification" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to environmental science, climate change, or chemistry, particularly when referring to the process by which the pH of the atmosphere decreases due to various factors.
Example: "The study highlighted the alarming rates of atmospheric acidification and its impact on marine ecosystems."
Alternatives: "air acidification" or "atmospheric pH reduction".
For example, observations in France indicate that atmospheric acidification reduces their influence (Pouzet et al. 2017).
Bone material can often be dated from its collagen, which is remarkably stable, even in soil suffering from atmospheric acidification [31].
Initially developed in response to concerns about atmospheric acidification [ 41- 44] and climate change [ 44- 48], these have since been extended to a range of other environmental issues including land use change [ 49, 50], air pollution [ 51- 53] and catchment management [ 54].
However, oxidation of U IV) may occur during sample exposure to atmospheric conditions or acidification with nitric acid, commonly required for analysis.
For these reasons, expectations about the biological response to increasing atmospheric CO2 and acidification ought to be different as well.
Yet even this approach does nothing to limit another impact of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels – ocean acidification.
Morse, J. W., Andersson, A. J. & Mackenzie, F. T. Initial responses of carbonate-rich shelf sediments to rising atmospheric pCO2 and "ocean acidification": role of high Mg-calcites.
The danger to coral comes in many forms, including pollution, global climate change, unsustainable fishing and ocean acidification from atmospheric carbon dioxide.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has asked scientists how to revise the Clean Water Act to protect seas against ocean acidification from atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Marine systems also face the unique threat of ocean acidification as atmospheric CO2 levels increase [ 8].
In the absence of substrate, a background rate was observed due to the acidification by atmospheric CO2.
