The burning of coal and other fossil fuelsmust have always resulted in the production of sulphur dioxide, and, where the combustion temperatures arehigh, of oxides of nitrogen. These may be present in various stages of oxidation and are often referred to assimply SOx and NOx. It is only during the last decade or so that Acid Rain has become a topic of discussion vying with nuclearenergy in its emotive power.
Initially attention was mainly concerned with the alleged effect of these gasesand the acids formed therefrom on lakes and rivers in Scandinavia. This concern was soon followed by reportsof serious damage to, for instance, the Black Forest, and, more locally, to lakes in the Galloway area anddamage in other parts of Scotland. In the case of these and many other examples, suggestions, still to beverified, have been made about the probable origin of the pollutants.
Author : Canada. House of Commons. Author : Chris C. Chris Park places the debates surrounding acid rain in context, and examines the full implications of scientific studies and the effects of acid rain on surface waters, soils and buildings. Evidence is drawn from around the world, including an examination of the damage in Scandinavia and Germany and the effects of acid rain in the U. Describes air analyzers, monitoring systems and peripheral instruments designed to advance the state of continuous air monitoring for industry and government.

Therefore, in our view, the inclusion of stringent air pollution control require- ments as an integral part of the program must be considered; for example, by applying where physically feasible the technology required under the recently promulgated New Source Performance Standards. Ideally, the policy maker in govern- ment, when wrestling with the long range transport of airborne pollutants, especially acid rain, should be able to expect from science information on precisely what is happening, and why and "when and where.
That kind of exact information will not be available for years, possibly many years.

Fortunately for those lakes, of combating many pollution control because it works by oxidation to chem- judgement, based on the level of problems. It is almost worse in water than on land because the fish that are in the water need the water to breathe.
When the water gets polluted, then the fish get sick and end up dying.
