Abstract
Long-term source–receptor relationships in Asia have been studied by means of a multilayer Lagrangian model. Here a summary of results for sulfur concerning the Himalayan region is presented, with a reconstruction of the past trends during the 1975–2000 period, an estimation of the role played by sources inside the region and adjacent areas and an outline of intra- and inter-annual variations. The remarkable increase of emissions in the past decades, with a corresponding rise of deposition levels in mountains is also noted, together with the relatively moderate contribution of local sources to regional budgets, as opposed to the ones of the Indo–Gangetic plain and the rest of the Indian subcontinent.
