Chemicals that eased one environmental problem may worsen another
Chemicals that helped solve a global environmental crisis in the 1990s - the hole in Earth's protective ozone layer - may be making another problem - acid rain - worse, scientists are reporting. View More (2010-03-04)
Improving China's acid rain control strategy
Scientists are reporting the first evidence that China's sharp focus on reducing widespread damage to soil by acid rain by restricting sulfur dioxide air pollution may have an unexpected consequence: Gains from that pollution control program will be largely offset by increases in nitrogen emissions, which the country's current policy largely overlooks.

Recovery from acid rain 'much slower than expected'
Acid rain was one of the world's worst pollution problems of the 1970s and 1980s, affecting large areas of upland Britain, as well as Europe and North America. View More (2007-09-28)
pHlight of the mayfly
Ecologists at Cardiff University are using genetic techniques alongside classical ecology to help explain why Welsh streams are not recovering from the biological damage done by acid rain. Speaking at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Ceri Williams will explain how genetically analysing mayflies is helping...

Long-term study shows acid pollution in rain decreased with emissions
Emissions regulations do have an environmental impact, according to a long-term study of acidic rainfall by researchers at the University of Illinois. View More (2011-11-17)
Value-added sulfur scrubbing
Power plants that burn fossil fuels remain the main source of electricity generation across the globe. Modern power plants have scrubbers to remove sulfur compounds from their flue gases, which has helped reduce the problem of acid rain. View More (2010-10-22)
British Ecological Society Winter Meeting
Press Invitation You are invited to the UK's premier ecological event, the British Ecological Society's Winter Meeting, being held at the University of Warwick on 18-20 December 2001. Thousands of ecologists from the throughout the world will be attending the meeting, which includes more than 300 papers and 100 posters, as well as the presentation of the Marsh award for conservation and the...

Plants' management of nutrient suggests environmental remedies
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could potentially lead to genetically engineering plants to avoid damage from acid rain, which robs soil of much of its calcium. View More (2007-03-09)
Hot volcanic eruptions could lead to a cooler Earth
Volcanic eruptions may be an agent of rapid and long-term climate change, according to new research by British scientists. View More (2005-06-13)
Database shows effects of acid rain on microorganisms in Adirondack Lakes
Prior to the federal Clean Air Act, unhindered industrial emissions were released into the air throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States for decades. Many of those harmful chemicals came right back down to earth in the form of acid rain, a chemical concoction that includes nitric and sulfuric acid. View More (2008-06-24)
How plants manage calcium may reduce effects of acid rain
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could lead to modifying plants to avoid damage from acid rain. The pollutant disrupts calcium balance in plants by leaching significant amounts of the mineral from leaves as well as the agricultural and forest soils the plants live in. View More (2007-03-12)
Seismic images show dinosaur-killing meteor made bigger splash
The most detailed three-dimensional seismic images yet of the Chicxulub crater, a mostly submerged and buried impact crater on the Mexico coast, may modify a theory explaining the extinction of 70 percent of life on Earth 65 million years ago. View More (2008-01-24)
Strange molecule in the sky cleans acid rain, scientists discover
Researchers have discovered an unusual molecule that is essential to the atmosphere's ability to break down pollutants, especially the compounds that cause acid rain. View More (2008-08-13)
Drop in acid rain altering Appalachian stream water
Appalachian hardwood forests may be getting a respite from acid rain but data from a long-term ecological study of stream chemistry suggests that the drop in acid rain may be changing biological activity in the ecosystem and hiking dissolved carbon dioxide in forest streams. View More (2006-12-12)
DO NOT HIDE FROM RAIN UNDER A FIRTREE
Russian scientists have found out that industrial contamination of atmosphere has more impact on flora and soil under the trees and the trees as such than on the space between the crowns. The study has been funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the President~s grant. We normally consider a tree as a natural umbrella. It is particularly good to hide from rain under a branchy... View More (2000-12-15)
University of Oregon researcher finds that on water's surface, nitric acid is not so tough
Nitric acid is a notoriously strong and chemically destructive compound found in water on earth and in our atmosphere. However, a team of researchers have found that its punch is much weaker when it sits on the top of a water surface. View More (2007-08-21)
Clear view of the clouds will bring better weather forecasts
Accurately forecasting rain will be easier thanks to new insights into clouds from a study led by the University of Leeds and UCL (University College London). View More (2005-08-11)
Warming causes more extreme shifts of the Southern Hemisphere's largest rain band
South Pacific countries will experience more extreme floods and droughts, in response to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, according to a paper out today in the journal Nature. View More (2012-08-16)
TRMM satellite sees tropical moisture bring heavy rain, flooding to US East Coast
A deep, stationary trough of low pressure parked over the Ohio and Tennessee valleys west of the Appalachians drew a steady stream of tropical moisture, including the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, up the East Coast. View More (2010-10-05)
Summer rain more likely over drier soils
Summer rain is more likely over drier soil - this is the conclusion scientists have drawn from a detailed analysis of satellite data. View More (2012-09-13)
