About this document
Acid Rain: Causes, Effects, and Control by Azad Sami is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses acid rain, including its causes, effects, and control strategies. It summarizes a 2012 progress report from the US EPA that found significant reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions and acid deposition due to programs like the Clean Air Interstate Rule. However, current emission levels are still not low enough to fully recover acid-sensitive ecosystems. The report also notes an 85% decline in average sulfur dioxide concentrations between 1980 and 2012 in the US.
