The line chart provides data about the amount of acid rain emissions in the UK produced by four various fields from 1990 to 2007.
Overall, the total amount of rain emissions decreased slightly over the 17-year period. The most dramatic change was seen in the figures for electricity, gas, and water supply, a drop of approximately 3 million tonnes.
In 1990, around 3.3 million tonnes of acid rain emissions came from the electricity, gas and water sector. The transport and communication sector was responsible for about 0.7 million tonnes of emissions, while the domestic sector produced around 0.6 million tonnes. Just over 2 million tonnes of acid gases come from other industries.
Emissions from electricity, gas, and water supply fell dramatically to only 0.5 million tonnes in 2007 a drop of almost 3 million tonnes. While acid rains gases from the domestic sector and other industries fell gradually, the transport sector saw a small increase in emissions, reaching a peak of 1 million tonnes in 2005.
