Answer #3

Scandinavia has a big acid rain problem, not because of its own production but because prevailing winds blow the stuff from the Continent and also from the UK. This pollution does a lot of damage because the soils and bedrock of much of Scandinavia have very little limestone/chalk to neutralize the acids blowing in. This has led to massive fish-deaths in freshwater lakes, despite spraying or seeding with counter-chemicals of the limestone type.
