Clean Air Act Acid Rain
1,807 wordsAcidic deposition, or acid rain as it is commonly known, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. These compounds then fall to the earth in either dry form (such as gas and particles) or wet form (such as rain, snow, and fog). Prevailing winds transport the compounds, sometimes hundreds of miles, across state and national borders. Electric utility plants account for about...
