The line chart indicates the amount of acid rain emitted in the UK, measured in millions of tonnes, from four different categories over a period of 17 years. Overall, it can be seen UK acid rain emissions witnessed a gradual downward, with the exception of increasing in transport and communication. Additionally, utilities released the highest amount of acid rain in the UK.
To begin with, the quantity of acid rain from electricity, gas and water supply was at the top of the graph with nearly 3. 5 million of tonnes, followed by a steady decrease in 1999. At the end of the period, it plummeted to approximately 0. 5 million tonnes. Over the period, domestic and other industries had a similar decrease, starting with 2 and 0. 5 millions tonnes and ending with 0. 25 and 1. 25 million tonnes respectively.
Unlike others, the figure of acid rain that transport and communication released rose slightly from 0. 3 to 1 and reached its peak in 2005 before dropping to 0. 5 in 2007.
