Data Analysis:
7. According to your pH test result, where in the U.S. is acid rain most severe?
- Northeast
8. Sulfur dioxide is the main air pollutant associated with acid rain.
- True
9. Which state in the U.S. release the most sulfur dioxide annually?
- NY, MD, NJ, VT, and DE
Conclusion:
10. Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between a state's sulfur dioxide emissions and the
average pH of its rain water?
- Yes, the more sulfur dioxide burned from using fossil fuels the more acid rain you see produced
11. How might you explain the fact that Vermont and New Hampshire, states with very low sulfur dioxide
emission, experience acid levels that are among the most severe in the country?
- The polar easterlies push the sulfur dioxide from east towards them.
