New enough and long enough; no obvious copyvio (according to Earwig's Copyvio Detector)
I don't like the expression "Acid Precipitation"; that is just a redir to "Acid rain"; we should use Acid rain instead, me thinks.
Also: "was among the first scientists" -> "was among the first modern scientists"
As for hook; ALT1 is contradicted by the source.
Hook ALT2 could be acceptable; but I prefer the first suggestion; with the above changes,
Is it possible to get a picture of him? Say, email Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and ask if they have a picture of him, which they will release under any of the acceptable commons-licenses?

@Huldra, I've already emailed several persons who has the picture of him, waiting for their response. And the preferred changes are doable. Tame (talk) 23:08, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@Huldra, a photo has been added to the article. A person from the university whom I emailed managed to find a sample photo of him for a newspaper story, and digitally enhanced it and uploaded it. Tame (talk) 10:39, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

User:Tamingimpala; that is excellent! I think we could go with hook ALT3, then? Huldra (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

@Huldra, AL3 it is.

Good to go, Huldra (talk) 20:33, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
