Solutions 1.Governments and official organizations formulate and promulgate policies eg. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 Acid Rain Program （1）Power Plants Scrubbers Fluidized Bed Combustion and Multistage Burner renewable energy sources Scrubbers are like liquid filters for the gases resulting from combustion. The exhaust gases are forced through a spray of water containing lime calcium hydroxide . The sulfur dioxide gas reacts with the lime to produce a solid of calcium sulfate. Fluidized Bed Combustion （2）car manufacturers catalytic converter make new cars which can use cleaner fuels make new cars Turn off lights, computers, and other appliances when youre not using them. Use energy-efficient appliances: lighting, air conditioners, heaters, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. Limit the use of air conditioning 4. Keep your thermostat at 68°F in the winter and 72°F in the summer. You can turn it even lower in the winter and higher in the summer when you are away from home. 5. Insulate your home as best you can. 6. Carpool, use public transportation, or better yet, walk or bicycle whenever possible 7. Buy vehicles with low NOx emissions, and properly maintain your vehicle. There are then problems in getting rid of the liquid sludge that is produced. Here it is pumped into a pond for temporary storage. a turbulent bed of pulverized coal and limestone is suspended by an upward blast of air. The combustion chamber has many boiler tubes which convert water into steam. The turbulent mixing of coal and air allows the combustion to occur at a lower temperature which reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides. The limestone captures the sulfur oxides by converting them to calcium sulfate which is a solid rather than a gas. This process also burns the coal more efficiently by about 5 %. This process removes 15-35 % of the nitrogen oxides. Limestone injection multiple burning is still in the development and testing stages. Crushed limestone is inje
