where does acid rain fall in the us
Acid rain Places significantly impacted by acid rain around the globe include most of eastern Europe from Poland northward into Scandinavia,[50] the eastern third of the United States,[51] and southeastern Canada. Other affected areas include the southeastern coast of China and Taiwan.[citation needed]
Fresh water The source of almost all fresh water is precipitation from the atmosphere, in the form of mist, rain and snow. Fresh water falling as mist, rain or snow contains materials dissolved from the atmosphere and material from the sea and land over which the rain bearing clouds have traveled. In industrialized areas rain is typically acidic because of dissolved oxides of sulfur and nitrogen formed from burning of fossil fuels in cars, factories, trains and aircraft and from the atmospheric emissions of industry. In some cases this acid rain results in pollution of lakes and rivers.
