Detailed explanation-1: -Southern Canada (near the Great Lakes region) experiences the highest levels of acid rain. 50-75% of the pollution that causes acid rain actually comes from the US. Wind patterns tend to move the pollution from the US north into Canada.

Detailed explanation-2: -The growth in Canada’s population and economy increases the demand for the production and delivery of goods and services, transportation and housing. Most of the energy used to meet this demand still comes from fossil fuels, which impacts the quality of the air we breathe.

Detailed explanation-3: -mobile sources – such as cars, buses, planes, trucks, and trains. stationary sources – such as power plants, oil refineries, industrial facilities, and factories. area sources – such as agricultural areas, cities, and wood burning fireplaces. natural sources – such as wind-blown dust, wildfires, and volcanoes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The majority of these pollutants are released through human activities, such as transportation, the burning of fuels for electricity and heating, and a variety of industrial activities.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Agreement seeks to control and reduce transboundary air pollution between Canada and the U.S. and includes commitments on notification of potential new sources of transboundary pollution, consultation on existing sources of possible transboundary pollution, and biennial progress reports.
