Acid rain was one of the major environmental issues of the 1980s.
But while industrialized countries have taken measures to reduce
the emissions that lead to acidification, the problems have not
gone away. Trees are still dying, lakes are still being made
uninhabitable; buildings are still corroding; and human health is
still suffering. The most worrying trend is the repetition in the
industrializing countries of Asia and Latin America of the problems
that have long afflicted Europe and North America. More than 10
years after it was first published, the highly acclaimed Acid Earth
still provides the only global view of acidification, and remains
the standard text on the subject. Chapters on the causes, effects
and growing scientific understanding of acid pollution, and the
possible solutions, are followed by detailed studies of the
political struggles involved in responding to acid damage in
western and eastern Europe, the US and the newly industrializing
countries. Written in non-technical language for people interested
in the problems of the environment, Acid Earth calls for a renewed
sense of public and political will to bring the problems of acid
pollution under control. The book also makes valuable reading for
specialists and students. Originally published in 1992
