This page describes some of the efforts that are being made to reduce the causes and the effects of acid rain. There is a brief description of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Acid Rain Program, which is intended to limit sulfur dioxide emissions from power plants, and some of the technology developed to remove sulfur from coal or remove sulfur dioxide from smokestack gases. There is also discussion about renewable energy sources and efforts to reduce vehicle emissions. Links to a glossary and to related information are embedded in the text.
