Acid Rain

Acid rain has been argued over for decades, and this book sets those disputes in their wider background. It looks closely at what the scientific research has shown and what that evidence means for the wider world. Lakes and streams, soils, and buildings are each considered as sites of damage.

The author draws on evidence from many countries. The book reviews the harm recorded in Scandinavia and Germany, then turns to the situation in Britain and the United States. Readers interested in how the problem has been understood and addressed will find the material useful for study in geography, environmental science, sustainability, and energy policy.
