Midwest industries colled cause of most Northeast acid rain Providence . Up two scientists say icy have persuasive evidence that the Midwest s Coal burning industries May be responsible for so percent of the acid rain tailing on the Northeast Kenneth Rahn and Douglas Lowenthal researchers at the University of Rhode is land s graduate school of oceanography have identified chemical fingerprints inthe rain that Are unique to midwestern and northeastern Industrial pollution. The environmental Protection Agency has reviewed Rahn and Lowe meal s study but it Calls the report interesting yet unproven a spokesman said. The Epa last week gave the University a$192,000 Grant to continue its acid rain research. Researchers using Rahn and Lowen Hal s system collect rain remove its Mois Ture then Analyse the Gummy residue of Trace pollutants left behind. Computers compare the mixtures of chemicals in the residue which Rahn Calls signatures with unique qualities found in the pollution of various parts of the coun try. The stakes Are More than academic in the mystery of acid rain a whodunit thai has for years slumped scientists trying to pinpoint sources of the pollution blamed for stunting forests and poisoning lakes an streams. In Washington lawmakers respect fierce debate this tall on How the huge Cost of acid rain control wiil be shared among the involved slates amid fears it will raise electricity rates and Cut employment in the Midwest s High Fulfur Coal mines and other industries. East coast Utility companies bum heavy residual Oil which is what is leftover once lighter fractions of crude Oil Are removed to make gasoline kerosene and diesel fuel. Residual Oil is difficult to ship so most Inland Power plants Burn Coal. Coal combustion produces selenium and arsenic and heavy oils produce Vanadium and Nickel Rahn said. Those byproducts Brand the rain they pollute providing scientists with return addresses midwestern Power Pani pollutant so Small they Are measured in fractions of micrometers i if into the air and stay there for Days. Prevailing winds work like Rivers to sweep the particles eastward where they in with moisture and Are washed Down As acid rain Rahn said. The tiny particles called aerosols Are one of the most plentiful constituents of new England s Haze Rahn said. But Only about half of the aerosols in the Region s air come from the Midwest he said. Theresa is Home grown. Researchers were hard pressed to explain How the Midwest could contribute 80 percent to northeastern rain pollution but Only 50 percent to the Region s aerosol pollution. Atmospheric chemist Roy halon provided the answer rain forms High in the atmosphere he said above the Heights reached by most local pollutants. Midwestern aerosols however have been rising through shifting masses of air for Days and have had the time to reach the place where precipitation is formed. Critics say that because High Altitude testing is difficult and expensive the the Ory of stratified pollutants though widely accepted has yet to be proved. Assault Case shudders out because of allergy Belfast Northern Ireland a an allergy to potatoes turned a pleasant and likable irishman into a wild Man a judge said in dropping assault charges against him.
