摘要
Discusses the distribution of acid rain, which is primarily sulphuric and secondarily nitric. The greatest effect on freshwater ecosystems is in areas underlain by highly siliceous types of bedrock. This includes the shields and mountain areas. Although equipment to reduce the emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides will be expensive, acid precipitation may be even more costly in its effect on plants, animals, soil and stone. -Forrest McElhoe Jr
