Decrease in Acid Rain Deposition

 EPA has confirmed a “large and wide­spread decrease” in wet sulfate deposition across broad areas of the Northeastern and Upper Midwestern United States. “The amount of wet sulfate deposited to lakes and streams declined by approximately 40 percent in the 1990s, allowing significant reductions in the number of these systems affected by acid deposition,” EPA said.
