What is Understanding Acid Rain: Causes & Effects about?
Acid rain is defined as rain with a pH lower than 5.6, typically caused by the burning of fossil fuels that release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere. It can be transported over long distances and affects regions such as the Northeast United States the most, while areas west of the Mississippi are least affected. Initial government efforts to reduce pollution through tall smokestacks were unsuccessful, as they only prolonged the presence of pollutants in the air.
