Not out of the woods (Acid Rain in Maine)

Acid rain is still a threat to more than one-third of Maine's forestland, according to a new study presented Tuesday in Portland.

While not the urgent and unregulated threat it was in the 1980s, enough acidic pollutants are settling across the landscape today to gradually weaken forests in sensitive areas, the study found.

The amount of forestland at risk statewide totals about 5.9 million acres, with most of that area spread throughout the valuable commercial forests of northern and western Maine.

"Acid rain is still very much an issue in Maine and New England," said David Littell, commissioner of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
