The line graph given tracks how many million tonnes of acid rain emissions from four different sectors in Britain from 1990 to 2007. Overall, the period saw declines in emissions from electricity, gas and water supply, domestic industry and industries assigned to the 'other' column, though by varying degrees. Only transport and communication ended up producing roughly as much acid rain in 2007 as in 1990.
Electricity, gas and water supply, initially the largest emitter of acid rain, produced an enormously decreased amount of emissions, from about 3. 25 million tonnes in 1990 to below 0. 5 million tonnes in 2007. By comparison, emissions from 'other' industries fell at a much slower pace, from above 2 million tonnes in 1990 to approximately 1. 25 million tonnes in 2007. As a result, 'other' industries instead emitted the largest amount of acid rain by 1997.
Little change took place in the acid rain emissions from transport and communication. The figure was around 0. 7 million tonnes in 1990 and almost the same in 2007. A similar trend was found in the domestic sector, though its emissions were in slow but relentless decline from about 0. 6 million tonnes in 1990 to around 0. 2 million tonnes in 2007.
