what has been done to prevent acid rain?

Answer 1

Canada is trying to get rid of emissions and gasses from the atmosphere. So far they have been doing somewhat of a bad job - GET RID OF STEPHEN HARPER if you are about the environment.....

I have been working with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to help perserve the environment and crown lands of Ontario and Provincial/National Parks... We have looked at the "Waterpower" project (my friend Paul Norris is the president of the Waterpower Association). We have came up with lots of different ideas. So far we are helping to kill off Coal plants and different Hydro/Power generation stations who gives off soo much pollution but so far so good. We are trying hard here in Ontario.

I am going to College for Ministry of Natural Resouces Law Enforcement for Park Warden, Ministry of Environment person or Conservation Officer.

Answer 2

The EPA has lots of stringent rules governing the release of chemicals that cause acid rain into the atmosphere. Also power plants and refineries can improve their processes to go above and beyond the EPA requirements to release less of the acid rain causing chemicals into the air.

Answer 3

Since the 1970's, governments in western countries imposed legislation that made it mandatory for coal-burning power plants to use 'scrubbers'. This resulted in a dramatic decrease of sulphur dioxide emissions - the cause of acid rain.
