Reduction of coal emissions esp in eurasia. May be the onlu case where us not culprit. Pops-toxic organic compunds w/ long lifespans that vecoe concentrated as they move up through the food chain.

Many pops have been banned from western territories. Acidity is a measure of amount of h+ rad. Ph of 7 means h + concentration of 10^-7 or one i nevery 10,000,000. Ph of 1 menas a concentration of 106-1 or 1 in 10. Rain drop below 5. 0 likely due to anthropogenic.
