Did we wipe out acid rain like we wiped out Polio? 🤔

Short answer: fixed by government regulations on sulfur in coal.
Seems there is acid rain denial among some folks who don't live in the areas where forests were decimated by acid rain. I didn't know acid rain denial was such a big thing!

Environmental regulations reduced SO2 which reduced sulfuric acid in rain. What a difference 30 years made!

Note that rising pH means falling acidity. Every increase of 1 in pH equates to a reduction by a factor of 10 in acid concentration. pH of 7 is neutral.
