Most industrialized countries have relatively higher emission of green house gases like SO2,whichcauses acid rain.Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water and then, like carbon dioxide, hydrolyses in a series of equilibrium reactions forming acid rain.

Having acid rain and being impacted by acid rain are two different concerns. First off acid gases may travel for many miles perhaps outside of the generating country, before touching the surface or being washed out of the air by rain. If acid rain falls into water with high alkalinity it is neutralized and little happens. Acid rain falling on non reactive soils and rocks may lower the pH of runoff receiving rivers and harm fish. Similarly acid rain falling on some soils is neutralized and on others cause no impact. The countries most affected by acid rain would be downwind of acid gas emissions either their own or from other countries. They must have sensitive waters or soils.

Based on this understanding countries with high numbers of acid gas emitting companies (USA, Canada, Europe in general) would have a significant opportunity to be exposed to acid rain. Northern Canada is prone to acid rain problems as the roacks are not sedimentary but do contain acid soluble metals. Central Europe is sensitive due to high levels of emissions and non neutralizing soils.

Ohio, at a pH of 4.3, It is the lowest in the nation, but only a small part of it. Ohio ranges from around 4.5 to 4.3, which is still very acidic.
