To understand acid deposition's causes and effects, and to track changes in the environment, scientists from EPA, state governments, and academia study acidification processes. They collect air and water samples and measure them for various characteristics such as pH and chemical composition, and research the effects of acid deposition on human-made materials such as marble and bronze. Finally, scientists work to understand the effects of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)-the pollutants that cause acid deposition and contribute to particulate matter -on human health. See the acid rain effects section for more information.

To solve the acid rain problem, people need to understand how acid rain damages the environment. They also need to understand what changes could be made to the air pollution sources that cause the problem. The answers to these questions help leaders make better decisions about how to control air pollution and therefore, how to reduce-or even eliminate-acid rain. Because there are many solutions to the acid rain problem, leaders have a choice of which options or combination of options are best. The next section describes some of the steps that can be taken to tackle the acid deposition problem.

Test for ester?

Acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid and water (equilibrium reaction). The ester splits into a carboxylic acid and alcohol, protons donated from the acid. The solution can then be distilled and the remaining acid can be checked using UV indicator. Acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid and water (equilibrium reaction).

Why does acid rain effect Sweden and Norway?

Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides are produced in countries like Germany, the UK and Poland, and the prevailing winds blow clouds of acid rain vapour over Sweden, where the sulphur acidifies the soil and stunts growth.
