Transboundary Air

The following link is from a Canadian government site on The Environment. This section is devoted to "transboundary air"- which of course ignores political borders. There are links to the official agreements b/w Canada and the US, as well as follow up concerns from Canada. Basically:

"While Canada is a source of some pollution crossing into the United States, prevailing wind direction and large U.S. emissions mean that the U.S. can be a significant source of smog and acid rain in certain regions of Canada ."
