Most water, including drinking water, has a neutral pH that exists between 6.5 and 8.5, but acid rain has a pH level lower than this and ranges from 4–5 on average. [1] [2] The more acidic the acid rain is, the lower its pH is. [2] Acid rain can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure.
Texas has the dubious distinction of leading the nation in polluted waterways. A new report draws upon self disclosed data by industrial facilities provided to the EPA. The study counted 17 ...
For parts of southern and eastern Texas, it's raining again. Just like it did yesterday and just like it is forecast to do tomorrow. For residents accustomed to glaring sunshine and 90-degree heat ...
Regulation of anthropogenic emissions, specifically SO x and NO x, can lead to large decreases of acid rain and acidic bodies of water. [24] For example, the Canada-United States Air Quality Agreement has greatly minimized acid rain and ozone levels by 78% in Canada and 92% in the United States, as of 2020. [25]
Water quality criteria in the state calls for levels no higher than 2.1 micrograms per liter for acute aquatic toxicity and much lower levels for human health. CNBC reached out to the FAA on Friday.
Low level cold in the winter sweeping in from Canada combine with relatively warmer, unfrozen lakes to produce dramatic lake-effect snow on the eastern and southern shores of the Great Lakes. [53] Lake-effect precipitation produces a significant difference between the snowfall around the Great Lakes, sometimes within small distances.
Much of Texas will see the effects of the arctic blast beginning Saturday. Here's a look at road conditions and closures across the state. ... during which the chance for freezing rain is about 30 ...
Since the 1990s, SO 2 emissions have dropped 40%, and according to the Pacific Research Institute, acid rain levels have dropped 65% since 1976. [38] However, although it reduced emissions by 40%, the US Acid Rain Program has not reduced SO 2 emissions as much as the conventional regulation applied in the European Union (EU), which reduced SO 2 ...
