The graph below shows UK acid rain emissions, measured in millions of tonnes, from four different

sectors between 1990 and 2007.

The line chart illustrates the amount of acid rain emission in the UK of four categories over the period of
sixteen years starting from 1991.

Overall, it can be seen that the downward trend in the amount of acid rain emission from 1991 to 2007.
Besides, while the figure for electricity, gas and water supply and other industries significant
decreased, that of domestic and transport and communication fluctuated and gently dropped over the
period shown.

In 1991, the amount of acid rain emission of electricity, gas and water supply was the highest, at
roughly 3.3 mil. In comparison, that of other industries was less nearly 1.2 mil than the figure for
electricity, gas and water supply, at approximately 2.1 mil and stayed stable two years later. At that
time, the amount of acid rain emission of electricity, gas and water supply was experienced a
considerable plunge, at roughly 1.3 mil, unchanged 1 year later and continued to go down, which was
similar to that of other industries, at approximately 0.5 mil and 1.2 mil respectively at the end of the
period.

In term of the figure for acid rain emission of transport and communication, it slightly fluctuated
between roughly 0.7 mil to 0.8 mil from 1991 to 1999. At the same time, domestic had lower amount of
acid rain emission than that of transport and communication with being stable nearly 0.6 mil till 1994,
marginally declined by roughly 0.1 mil and stayed unchanged in 1999. From the year 1999 onwards, the
amount of acid rain emissions of transport and communication gradually increased at 1 mil and steadily
fell by nearly 0.5 in the last year. Meanwhile, that of domestic slightly declined and hit the bottom with
0.2 mil in 2007.
