acid rain, in North Carolina and in general.
National
Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP/NTN) - The US National
Atmospheric Deposition Program operates an acid rain observing network
that is used to monitor the chemistry of precipitation for geographical
and temporal long-term trends. Quality assured precipitation chemistry
data (including acidity) and analyzed maps are available for viewing and
downloading.

acid deposition in areas of the United Kingdom believed to be sensitive
to acidification.
UK
DTI Energy and the Environment Programme - The programme aims to
assess the impacts of proposed energy related environmental policies and
regulation on UK industry, and their cost implications for the final
consumer.

EPA Acid Rain Program - About EPA efforts reduce electric utilities'
emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, the pollutants
responsible for acid deposition. The program includes a system of
tradable SO2 emissions allowances.
What
is Acid Rain and What Causes It? - A discussion of the causes and
effects of acid rain, and possible policy solutions. |
