Acid rain is a serious environmental and human health problem affecting all parts of the United States, but particularly the East. Scientists have been researching the phenomenon of acid rain--its causes and effects--for the past two decades in Europe and North America. Their studies provide a strong scientific basis for concluding that legislative action to control the sources of acid rain is needed now. The growing magnitude of the problem and impact on human health, the environment, and the economy do not permit further delays.
