In 1965 I parked a brand new car in Sudbury Ontario for three days, when I got back to it I found that the acid rain caused by the Inco nickel smelters had etched the whole car with acid rain drops, paint and chrome was affected. It went to the wreckers still bearing the scars of its Sudbury trip.
I found out later that Inco had a special fund for repairs due to this pollution, but it was too late for me.
The area around Sudbury at that time looked like a waste land, gradually going from bare blackened rock to struggling trees that got bigger and healthier the farther you got from the city. Thankfully it is much better now.
