Killarney was severely affected by acid rain in the late 1900's mostly because of the superstack in Sudbury. It was built to let sulphur dioxide, and other gasses, as well as nickel and lead smelter away from the city of Sudbury. These gasses go out into the atmosphere and come back as acid rain, which stained the quartzite rock charcoal black, while it used to be pinkish-gray, and it made the lakes and rivers in Killarney so acidic that most of the plant and animal life in them died.
I hope this answers your question, I was just up in Killarney and had to do a report for school on this topic.
