چکیده
Once the acidic gases have been emitted to the atmosphere they can be transported over large distances. Hydrogen chloride is highly soluble and is deposited close to source areas, whereas sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are relatively insoluble (at atmospheric concentrations) and are therefore usually transported much further from the source before being deposited. For example, around 90% of sulphur deposited in Sweden is due to emissions from neighbouring countries.

A Spatial Analysis of Predictors of Ambient Sulfur Dioxide Concentrations in the United States Abstract: Despite the success of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Acid Rain Program in reducing national sulfur dioxide emissions from electricity generation
Despite the success of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Acid Rain Program in reducing national sulfur dioxide emissions from electricity generation in a timely and costsaving manner, expected improvements in the environment have not followed in a linear fashion. While ambient sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentrations and acid deposition have decreased across the US, the health and ecological ...

متن کاملEnvironmental Situation of an Agricultural Area in Akure, Nigeria, Based on Physico-Chemical Properties of Rainwater
Acid rain still poses a global problem today, exerting many adverse effects on man, animal, and materials. As its research question, the present study tries to find out whether or not acid rains exist in Akure, Nigeria. For so doing, it determines physico-chemical properties of rain water samples, namely pH, temp, Electrical Conductivity (EC), TDS, acidity, SO4-, NO2-, Cl-, and Free CO2. Accord...
