Acid Rain: Federal Research into Effects on Waters and Forests
Abstract
Acidic lakes and dying forests have raised concern about the role acid deposition has in present and future environmental damage. In response to this concern, the Congress directed that a multi-agency research program be undertaken to study its causes and effects. At the request of the Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, House Committee on Energy and Commerce, GAO developed information on the status and results of federal research to determine acid depositions effects on our lakes, streams, other aquatic resources, and forests and funding provided for federal acid deposition research.
