Does the U.S. Geological Survey study acid rain?

0

The answer is yes. The environmental effects of acid rain include the acidification of lakes and streams, damage to trees at high altitude, the acceleration of decay in buildings and poorer air quality. The USGS studies these and other effects of acid rain, including accelerated erosion and weathering, and surface- and ground-water quality issues. For more information on related USGS studies, visit bqs.usgs.gov/acidrain. And now you know. Join us again every weekday for a new CoreFact. For other CoreFacts, or for CoreCast, our in-depth science podcast, go to usgs.gov/podcasts. If you’d like to have a question featured on our show, give us an email at corefacts@usgs.gov or a phone call at 703-648-5600. Remember, long distance fees do apply.
