The line graph compares how much acid rain emission was produce by four various sectors in the UK from 1991 to 2007, measured in millions of tonnes.
Overall, the amount of acid emissions saw a decrease over the given 17 year period. Interestingly, the toxic gas comes from electricity, gas and water supply was the second lowest source of producing emissions, even though it was by far the most produced sector initially.
It is notable that the rate of generating pollution fluctuated between 0,5 million tonnes and 0,8 million of tonnes throughout 17 years , when it comes to sectors, namely transportation and domestic, respectively. The detrimental gas from local residents’ house was, in fact, the lowest during the whole timeframe.
Despite the amount of emissions from utilities was the highest in 1991, it has mirrored a rapid falling trend, decreasing from about 3.4 million of tonnes to 0.5 millions of tonnes. Similarly other industries also witnessed a declining in terms of generating emissions. However, in 1996 it surpassed others, accounting for approximately 1.7 millions of tonnes, and it followed a slight changes up until 2007.
