Where in the US is the biggest problem of acid rain?

Answer 1

Acid Rain is the worst in areas that have industries and power systems dependent on sulfidic coals, where crude oil is processed without sulfur recovery, or where sulfidic ores are processed to produce metals.

Acid rain was first noted in Europe in the '60s due to Germany's industrial areas but areas such as Canada's Sudbury region have been cited as well. At present China is under scrutiny but westerly wnds will drie he acid gases over the ocean without causing soil or water damage.

Answer 2

CCE has been working to fight the devastating impacts of acid rain in New York and Connecticut since 1997. Acid rain is created when fossil fuels are burned, primarily in electric power plants and automobiles, producing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These air pollutants react with water vapor in clouds, oxygen and oxidants in air, forming sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The acids fall to earth in wet form, either as rain, snow or fog, or dry form, as gas or solid particles.

Answer 3

The biggest problem of acid rain in the US is in the eastern part of the country, particularly in the Northeast and the Midwest regions. This is because these areas have high levels of air pollution from industrial activities and power plants that emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which are the major contributors to acid rain formation.

Answer 4

acid rain comes from most of the large chemical faceries spread all across the u.s.
