away. Acid deposition can also corrode modern buildings, cars, railroad tracks, airplanes, steel bridges, and pipes above and below ground. What's Being Done? Because of these problems and the adverse effects air pollution has on human health, a number of steps are being taken to reduce sulfur and nitrogen emissions. Most notably, many governments are now requiring energy producers to clean smoke stacks by using scrubbers which trap pollutants before they are released into the atmosphere and catalytic converters in cars to reduce their emissions. Additionally, alternative energy sources are gaining more prominence today and funding is being given to the restoration of ecosystems damaged by acid rain worldwide.

less money would be spend and economy would be affected. Acid rain= damaged buildings=claims on insurance = less money for insurance company and there for effecting the economy. Political effects Acid rain can cause political tension between countries, good example is Canada and Usa. The goverment has to make öaws to battle the gasses for example taxing factories for using gasses. Bad faming= less expore Solutions Clean the smoke coming from smoke stacks on factories using scrubbers Design cars that make cleaner emissions Use less fossil fuels, such as coal, for power. The problem is that nuclear power, hydropower and coal are the cheapest forms of enery today. But adcancements in techonologies might change this in the future. Use more alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power Wind and solar powerstations are expensive to build.
The mercury in the water can build up in fish and shellfish, and can be harmful to animals and people who eat them. The Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act require industries to reduce pollutants released into the air and the water. The coal industry has found several ways to reduce sulfur, nitrogen oxides, and other impurities from coal. They have found more effective ways of cleaning coal before it leaves the mine, and coal companies look for low-sulfur coal to mine. Power plants use "scrubbers" to clean sulfur from the smoke before it leaves their smokestacks. In addition, industry and government have cooperated to develop "clean coal technologies" that either remove sulfur and nitrogen oxides from coal, or convert coal to a gas or liquid fuel. The scrubbers and NOx removal equipment are also able to reduce mercury emissions from some types of coal. Scientists are working on new ways to reduce mercury emissions from
