A clean and green way to reduce acid rain has been developed by Chang Yul Cha of the University of Wyoming in Laramie. The process cuts sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from coal-fired smokestacks

During the southwest monsoon (June to September) season of 2005 in Bangalore City, 32 bulk precipitation samples were collected from two sampling stations. Concentrations of major cations and anions were determined.

By leaching essential nutrients from top soil, acid rain threatens forests in more ways than previously thought

Trading in water pollution proposed

Calcium particles neutralise acid in the atmosphere

A haze of pollutants, the size of the US, covers a part of the Indian Ocean sky creating fears of acid rain, low rainfall and a change in environmental politics

A recent study conducted by ocean scientists from Florida State University, USA, provides evidence of the greater role of atmospheric nitrogen, rather than of ground sources, in controlling the

A Texas-based company, Energy Biosystems Corporation, has recently patented a recombinant gene that it "hopes will help eliminate acid rain". By manipulating the DNA of soil bacteria of the genus

Positively charged atoms of elements like calcium and magnesium that are present in particulate matter can neutralise acid rain

EMISSIONS of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides play a key role in the formation of acid rain and consequently, the acidification of soils. Production of nitrogen oxides leads to ozone build-up in
