Efektet gërryese të ajrit të ndotur acidik të qyeteve të mëdha mbi bloqet e gurëve apo mermereve u vunë re që në shekullin XVII nga [[John Evelyn]], i cili mbajti shënim kushtet e mjerueshme të koleksionit me statuja antike të Thomas Howard.<ref>E.

The problem of acid rain has not only increased with population and industrial growth, but has become more widespread. The use of tall smokestacks to reduce local [[pollution]] has contributed to the spread of acid rain by releasing gases into regional atmospheric circulation.<ref name="Likens, G. E. 1979">{{cite journal|author=Likens, G. E., Wright, R. F.; Galloway, J. N. and Butler, T. J. |year=1979|title= Acid rain|journal= Scientific American|volume= 241|issue=4|pages=43–51|doi=10.1038/scientificamerican1079-43}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|author=Likens, G. E. |year=1984|title= Acid rain: the smokestack is the "smoking gun." |journal=Garden |volume=8|issue=4|pages=12–18}}</ref> Often deposition occurs a considerable distance downwind of the emissions, with mountainous regions tending to receive the greatest deposition (simply because of their higher rainfall). An example of this effect is the low pH of rain which falls in [[Scandinavia]].
