Description:	DURING THE PAST DECADE, acid deposition, more commonly called "acid rain" has been the air pollution problem of highest concern in the United States. It has caused serious political friction between environmentalists and power companies, between states that burn coal for electric power production and those upon whom the acid rain falls, and even between the United States and Canada, where many citizens feel they are victims of acid exported from the United States. To those who are not experts in atmospheric chemistry, it seems simple enough: What goes up must come down. If you want less acid rain, reduce emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides that produce it. However, the atmosphere is a complex system and if we do not understand the formation and deposition of acids, there is a definite possibility that we will devise solutions costing tens of billions of dollars without significantly lessening the severity of problems that have been attributed to acid rain
