Environmental Protection Agency. The Acid Rain Program at the EPA has a number of features on their web site. For example you'll find a wide variety of educational material on acid rain including a definition of acid rain and its causes, the effect of acid rain on forests, water, and people. There are a number of experiments and classroom activities also listed. The site also has a variety of data sets on acid rain including U.S. laws and regulations pertaining to acid rain, a series of fact sheets on the EPA programs and information on acid rain not in the educational segment of the site. Finally the site has information on several programs administered by the EPA. Recommended. The ABC's of Acid Rain . Michelle Change and Lisa Mori. A great basic introduction to the topic of acid rain. The site defines acid rain and discusses its causes. You'll also learn about the effects of acid rain on trees, lakes, the atmosphere, humans, and human products. The site also talks about reducing car emissions and has links to other web sites on acid rain. Highly recommended.

Robert Winkler for National Geographic News August 13, 2002 Acid rain may be forgotten, but it is not gone, and now researchers at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology have linked it to the decline of the wood thrush, a forest bird known for its beautiful song. Using data from the BBS, from government studies of acid rain and soil acidity, and from a Cornell Lab study of forest fragmentation, the researchers did a statistical analysis and found that increased amounts of acid rain make wood thrushes less likely to breed.

Pulse of the Planet An article on the finding appears in the August 12 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "I was surprised that we uncovered a negative effect this big," said Stefan Hames, an ecologist and ornithologist at Cornell, and one of the article's five coauthors. "Like many people, I thought acid rain was a non-issue."

Acid Deposition Monitoring and Research in the UK Welcome to the Acid Deposition home page. These pages contain information about the acid deposition monitoring networks managed by the National Environmental Technology Centre (AEA Technology plc), and (will soon) provide a summary of the latest Review Group on Acid Rain report. Acid Deposition Monitoring Network Acid deposition is currently measured at 32 weekly sites across the UK. Wet deposition is calculated from the concentration of the specified ion in precipitation and the Meteorological Office rainfall field. The network is managed by AEA Technology's National Environmental Technology Centre on behalf of the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions. Click the icon for more information about this network. Rural Sulphur Dioxide Monitoring Network Coming soon! Sulphur dioxide is measured at approximately 38 sites across the UK and the interpolated concentration field is combined with a process-based model (ITE) to estimate the dry deposition of sulphur to the UK. The network is managed by AEA Technology's National Environmental Technology Centre on behalf of the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions.

It is formed when emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. These compounds then fall to the ground in either wet or dry form. Acid rain acidifies lakes and streams and contributes to damage of trees at high elevations. (Check out Mount Mitchell in North Carolina if you want a graphic example of tree damage.) Hundreds of lakes in the Adirondacks have become too acidic to support sensitive fish species. In addition, acid rain accelerates the decay of paints and buildings. Electric power plants account for about 70 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions about 30 percent of nitrogen oxides emissions. Cars, trucks and buses also are major sources of nitrogen oxides.

125. Acid Rain Answer What can you tell me about acid rain? Nevertheless, the danger of acid rain to the delicate ecosphere and the treasures of antiquity cannot be underestimated. http://members.aol.com/profchm/acidrain.html

What can you tell me about acid rain? Acid rain is caused when certain gases generally created by the burning of sulfur and nitrate impurities found in ores or coal burning. The chemical reactions are that the sulur impurity will chemically combine with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. These rather dense gases alone can cause breathing difficulties if allowed to accumulate in the atmosphere. Lung ailments such as emphasema can result as these gases settle in the lungs. There are processes available that would "scrub" coal and other ores before they undergo combustion. The extraction processes are somewhat expensive, and it is doubtful, given the economic contingencies of the energy industry, that adoption of such extraction processes will be done voluntarily by the coal industry without legal requirement. These gases remain in the atmosphere until they are "leached" out by coming into contact with rain that dissolves the gases forming Sulfurious and Sulfuric acid droplets. These droplets fall to the earth and collect in the water table beneath the surface or runoff into the brooks and streams finally collecting in lakes and eventually making their way to the oceans. The acid rain drastically alters the pH of lakes which can adversely affect the ecological balance in the marine life of these waterways. Many species of marine life can not thrive outside of a pH range. In addition, increasing the acidity of the waterways can cause ceratin marine life to thrive which eventually results in threatening other aquatic forms of life both plant and animal.

CURRENT CAMPAIGNS Acid Rain CCE has been working to fight the devastating impacts of acid rain in New York and Connecticut since 1997. Acid rain is created when fossil fuels are burned, primarily in electric power plants and automobiles, producing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These air pollutants react with water vapor in clouds, oxygen and oxidants in air, forming sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The acids fall to earth in wet form, either as rain, snow or fog, or dry form, as gas or solid particles.

The prevailing winds blow pollutants for hundreds of miles from the Midwestern U.S., where the largest concentration of large coal-burning plants are P hoto courtesy of The Adirondack Council Photo by Gary A.
