The Acidification of Canadian Lakes

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the environmental damage that acid rain has caused in Canada. It explains what acid rain is and details the threat it poses to the environment, to wildlife and to human life. The paper also discusses its causes, what needs to be done to prevent further damage, and why very little has been done, thus far, to address the problem of acid rain.

From the Paper:

"While Canada has far more open land, and less population and industrialization than many other nations,. The seriousness of the acidification of its lakes is beginning to pose a serious problem, to wildlife drinking the water, to fish in the water and to humans who may use lake-water pumped into potable water supply in cities and towns. The one area that seems to be "safe", or virtually so, are the Great lakes, because enormous amounts in limestone both in and around the lakes purify and filter the acids."
