Acid rain debate spans Canada and United States
Canadian fisheries official John Cooley warned that up to a million lakes across eastern Canada and the U.S. could be damaged by acid rain. He said emissions from coal plants, mainly in the U.S., contribute about half of Ontario and Quebec’s acidity, stressing the need for cross border action and more study while noting progress at Sudbury’s Inco stack. The Cornell seminar drew about 300 researchers amid some cancellations from a U.S. air-traffic controllers strike.
