• Resumen

  • The article discusses acid rain, an environmental problem associated with utility and industrial sulfuric acid emissions in the 1970s, and one that has become more associated with nitric acid emissions from industrial and agricultural sources. The impacts of acid rain and U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments implemented in 1990 to address it are noted. Nitric acid emissions associated with bacterial conversion of ammonia and production of fertilizers are discussed.
