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.

The site also talks about reducing car emissions and has links to other web sites on acid rain. Highly recommended.
Is Acid Rain Killing Off Wood Thrushes?

Extractions: 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. Wood Thrush Nest 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."

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Resources Contact Us Acid rain (or acid deposition, as it's called in technical circles) is produced by the burning of fossil fuels. 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.
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

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: When fish started turning belly up in lakes and streams, North America's eyes were suddenly opened to the consequences of pollution. But long after acid rain became a household word and Canada decided to take action, the United States was still hesitant to curb their share of industrial pollutants. For years Mulroney courted a reluctant American president while Canadian activists lobbied and spread the word. Results came eventually, but it may have been too little too late.
