In a relatively small continental area such as Europe, there is not much difference between what would be considered the regional scale and the continental scale. However, on most other continents there would be a difference between what is considered regional and what continental. Perhaps of greatest concern on the continental scale is that the air pollution policies of a nation are likely to create impacts on neighboring nations. Acid rain in Scandanavia has been considered to have had impacts from Great Britain and Western Europe. Japan has considered that part of their air pollution problem, especially in the western part of the country, has origins in China and Korea. Cooperation in the examination of the North American acid rain problem has existed for a long time between Canada and the United States.

The topic of acid rain during the 1980s and early 1990s was one of controversy and of incomplete answers in terms of official policy and science—after an expenditure of many millions of dollars. In 1980. the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) was established and subsequently consumed thousands of scientific research hours and costly field investigations, including the use of numerous helicopter expeditions to northwestern mountain and lake areas of the United States and Canada. Thousands of hours of computer power were consumed.

This currently operating network extends from Alaska to Puerto Rico, and from Maine to American Samoa with 190 sampling sites. Many of the stations have been identified as National Trends Network (NTN) sites - the monitoring network of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) (15).

The deterioration of marble and limestone exposed both to anthropogenic acid deposition from the environment and to natural weathering is being assessed as one of the major activities of the Materials Effects Task Group of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). There is much concern for the calcareous stone materials because of their widespread use as the exterior structure of commercial, institutional, and private buildings as well as in valued monuments and memorials. These calcium carbonate materials are especially sensitive to an acid environment.
