Acid Rain is the worst in areas that have industries and power systems dependent on sulfidic coals, where crude oil is processed without sulfur recovery, or where sulfidic ores are processed to produce metals.
Acid rain was first noted in Europe in the '60s due to Germany's industrial areas but areas such as Canada's Sudbury region have been cited as well. At present China is under scrutiny but westerly wnds will drie he acid gases over the ocean without causing soil or water damage.

∙ 11y agoCCE has been working to fight the devastating impacts of acid rain in New York and Connecticut since 1997. Acid rain is created when fossil fuels are burned, primarily in electric power plants and automobiles, producing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These air pollutants react with water vapor in clouds, oxygen and oxidants in air, forming sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The acids fall to earth in wet form, either as rain, snow or fog, or dry form, as gas or solid particles.

Where is the Greatest amount of acid rain in US?
I don't know of any legitimate evidence, but I would postulate that since pollution from Asia and the US (two huge polluters) travels on the jet stream to the east coast, the eastern-most states would have more acid rain than anywhere else in the US. At any rate, it's sad that acid rain is an issue wherever you go.

Acidity in rain is measured by collecting samples of rain and measuring its pH. Rain that has become acidic after contact with certain atmospheric gases. What causes acid rain?
