Researchers go overseas
With studies showing that acid rain pollution from this country drifts over the Atlantic Ocean, a research team headed by a University of Virginia scientist plans to travel to Europe to see just how far the pollution goes.
“We know substantial quantities of this material go into Canada. Now we’re looking at how much goes into Europe,” said James N. Galloway, an associate professor of environmental science at U. Va.
Galloway headed an international team of scientists that found that significant amounts of acid rain pollution drift into the atmosphere over the Atlantic.
The team collected data earlier this year from a specially-equipped plane that collected air samples along the East Coast from Charleston, S.C., to Atlantic City, N.J.
Galloway said the scientists have started taking air samples over Ireland and plan to conduct a major experiment on the west coast of Ireland in fall 1986.
“They definitely have problems with add rain,” he said of the European countries. “Most of it comes from emissions in Europe. There may be a North American contribution. My guess is that it’s small compared to the European contribution.”
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided money and equipment for Galloway’s team, which worked out of Patrick Henry Airport in Newport News. The data the scientists collected is expected to be used to help federal researchers advise the Reagan administration on acid rain.
