Reply to comment by cutiecat565 in After the train derailment on the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania, a lot of chemicals ended up in the atmosphere from a purposeful burn off. I’m wondering if this may lead to acid rain anywhere across our state, today. by putinmaycry
Not from coal burned directly here. Some of the factories in eastern ohio/west virginia utilize coal and the jet stream pushes that east and north. The coal burned in pa the same way moves with the jet stream to jersey and new york. The average ph of rain could vary but it always almost slightly acidic around a 6.5-6.75 on the ph scale without the addition of sulfides to the atmosphere.
