The deposition of acidifying compounds in Gdask region has been investigated. Bulk wet (in the open field), and through­fall (in the forest) stand, depositions were measured from 1994 till 2001. The deposition of sul­phates, nitrates and ammonium salts has been analysed. The obtained results are compared with the critical depo­sition for sulphur and nitrogen related to the Gdask region. It has been stated that exceeding critical load was not observed for sulphur, while it was ob­served for nitrogen.
