Sulphur Dioxide - Acid Rain
Sulphur dioxide, mainly produced by
power stations, factories and motor
vehicles, is dispersed long distances
in the atmosphere. When combined with
water, a mild acid is formed. This acid
rain has been blamed for a great deal
of environmental damage to forests,
rivers and lakes.
Not all scientists agree that this
damage is entirely due to acid rain,
but sulphur dioxide pollution is still
a major concern. Steps are being taken
to reduce emissions from factories and
power stations. It is likely that new
leglislation will be introduced to
further control this problem.
