Elevated Acidification Rates Due to Deposition of Atmospheric Pollutants in the Coastal Bay of Bengal

Abstract Human inputs of pollutants to the atmosphere and subsequent deposition may decrease pH in the coastal waters. Significant rate of decrease in pH and increase in pCO2 by 3–5 times is noticed in the coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB) than the low‐latitude global ocean trends in the last few decades....
