Acid rain is found in Sweden and is caused by air pollution in Britain and other countries of Europe. The pollution produced in Britain ends up mostly in Scandinavian countries- countries of northern Europe including Sweden, Norway and Denmark. In the USA, the winds blow air pollution to certain areas in Canada.
