Eville Gorham FRSC (October 15, 1925 — January 14, 2020) was a Canadian-American scientist whose focus has been understanding the chemistry of fresh waters and the ecology and biogeochemistry of peatlands. In the process, Gorham made a number of practical contributions that included discovering the influence of acid rain in lake acidification, plus the importance of the biological magnification of radioactive fallout isotopes in northern food chains. The former led to legislation and redesign of the power plants of the world to scrub sulfur, and the latter was an early step toward the establishment of an atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty.

  • Eville Gorham FRSC (Halifax, 15 de outubro de 1925) é um químico canadense. Gorham investigou a influência da chuva ácida na acidificação de lagos, e a importância da magnificação trófica da queda radioativa de isótopos na cadeia alimentar no hemisfério norte. (pt)
  • Eville Gorham FRSC (* 15. Oktober 1925 in Halifax; † 14. Januar 2020 in Minneapolis) war ein kanadisch-US-amerikanischer Wissenschaftler, dessen Forschungsschwerpunkt im Bereich der Chemie des Süßwassers und der Ökologie und Biogeochemie von Mooren lag. Dabei entdeckte Gorham unter anderem den Einfluss von Saurem Regen auf die Versauerung von Seen und die Bedeutung der Biomagnifikation radioaktiver Isotope in nördlichen Nahrungsketten. Ersteres führte zum Erlass von Gesetzen und zur Umgestaltung von Kraftwerken, um die entstehenden Abgase von Schwefelsäure zu reinigen, letzteres war ein früher Schritt in Richtung eines Vertrags über das Verbot von Kernwaffenversuchen in der Atmosphäre, im Weltraum und unter Wasser.

  • Eville Gorham FRSC (15 oktober 1925 – 14 januari 2020) was een Canadees-Amerikaanse wetenschapper die zich richtte op het begrijpen van de chemie van zoet water en de ecologie en biogeochemie van veengebieden. Gorham maakte een aantal praktische bijdragen, waaronder het ontdekken van de invloed van zure regen op de verzuring van meren, plus het belang van de biomagnificatie van radioactieve neerslagisotopen in noordelijke voedselketens. Het eerste leidde tot wetgeving en herontwerp van energiecentrales wereldwijd om zwavel te wassen, en het laatste was een vroege stap in de richting van de totstandkoming van een verdrag voor een verbod op kernproeven in de atmosfeer.
