pH

(English) Concentration of Hydrogen ions (H+)in a solution (log to base 10 of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion concentration); a value used to express acidity and alkalinity. A pH of 7 is neutral, of < 2 is a strong acid and of > 12 a strong alkali. Acid rain decreases the natural pH of rivers and lakes. Some fish require a specific pH, others will live in a wide range of values. (See also: acidity, basicity, ecotoxicology)
