It was a big concern in the 1970s. Now global warming gets all the attention. Acid rain is still a big problem. I live in the greatlakes area and almost all lake have elevated acid levels. Power plants and car have improved emissions in the past few decades but acid rain continues to harm forests and lakes.

The overall goal of the Acid Rain Program is to achieve significant environmental and public health benefits through reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)—the primary causes of acid rain. To achieve this goal at the lowest cost to society, the program employs both traditional and innovative, market-based approaches for controlling air pollution. In addition, the program encourages energy efficiency and pollution prevention.

After a considerable time spent searching I came up with this site,

http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/

but it only had data through 2005 for the geographic site I looked at.

The reference search turned up 64,700 possible sites. One of these may have the information you seek readily available.
