Question

What ever happened to acid rain? I thought all the forests were supposed to be dead by now.?

Answer 1

The Clean Air Act

Answer 2

well it's still around but not as intensely so. It's all to do with the emission of nitrogen oxides and sulphates into the air from combustion engines and big smelters etc. Now we have catalytic converters and scrubbers to take these harmful compounds out of the exhausted mass of particulates and there is not as much making its way into the clouds to make acid rain.
