Really? I thought it was mostly solved by regulations that require filters at the industrial sites (and aren’t those used in Diesel cars, too?). Actually, what happens with the gunked-up filter material? Can the captured sulfur and nitrogen be used? I think you can use nitrogen as a fertilizer?

True, i looked up a bit more information on it and apparently it was at its height around the 80s, so I may have misremembered time a little bit.

I don’t remember any of the specifics anymore but it boils down to: Trees and plants died in masses, scientists and the general population got together and we changed what caused it.

Mostly because I’m tired of everything wanting to have its own app which turns out to just be a more colourful container to load the webpage (my tinfoil hat hypothesis is that they do it to bypass adblocks). And the other reason is that I couldn’t find anything I need to do on Lemmy that I’m not just as able to do from the browser.
