	Robert Angus Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Angus Smith (February 15, 1817–May 12, 1884) was a Scottish chemist, who investigated numerous environmental issues.
		Born Pollokshaws, Glasgow, Smith was educated at the University of Glasgow in preparation for ministry in the Church of Scotland but left before graduating.
		After some initial alarming experiences, Smith refused to take on expert witness work which was a staple of consulting scientists of the day and which he saw as corrupt.

	Jonathan Z. Smith, Drudgery Divine
		Smith notes that it is Christian writers who make the death and resurrection parallels between their own faith and the Mysteries clearest, and thus he theorizes that Christians may have been projecting the categories of their own faith onto their rivals'.
		Smith seems to infer that in the missing lines it would have been discovered that Baal was the victim of a premature burial, that the reports of his demise, like Mark Twain's, were premature.
		Smith describes how scholars early speculated from the fragmentary Tammuz texts that he had been depicted as dying and rising, though the evidence was touch and go.

		In 1852, Smith published a detailed report of the chemistry of rain in the city of Manchester and noted that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town.
		On the basis of detailed studies in England, Scotland, and Germany, he demonstrated that the chemistry of precipitation is linked to such factors as wind trajectories, the amount of coal combustion, proximity to the sea, and the amount and frequency of rain or snow.
		Smith noted that acid rain damaged plants and materials and proposed detailed procedures for the proper collection and chemical analysis of precipitation.

	Robert Angus Smith
		Robert Angus Smith (1817-1884) was a 19th-century Scottish chemist who investigated numerous environmental issues.
		Smith did innovative studies of air and water pollution and was one of the few at his time to realize the importance of finding solutions to the environmental problems caused by urban growth.
		As a scientist, Smith was far ahead of his time both in his research and in the ideas behind it.

		This Wainwright, Angus alleges, is the son of a bigtime Staff Writer at LIFE magazine, and he's got himself bailed out with a high-class lawyer and left Angus and Hetty in jail.
		Angus was larger than life and although he played with many of the best musicians around -- LaMonte Young, Tony Conrad, Terry Riley and Terry Jennings among them-and was a founding member of The Velvet Underground, his greatest magic was in making everyone he came in contact with part of his cosmic humming.

	Robert Angus Smith Summary
		Through his studies of air pollution he was, in 1852, the discoverer of acid rain, and his appointment as Queen Victoria's first inspector under the Alkali Acts Administration of 1863 made him the prototype of the scientific civil servant.
		Although his work has sometimes been dismissed as pedestrian, Smith's pioneering studies of the chemistry of atmospheric precipitation, published in 1872 in the book Air and Rain, were far ahead of their time and a major contribution to a new discipline that he called "chemical climatology."

	EPA NE: A Brief History
		Acid rain was first observed in the mid 19th century, when some people noticed that forests located downwind of large industrial areas showed signs of deterioration.
		The term "acid rain" was coined in 1872 by Robert Angus Smith, an English scientist.
		Smith observed that acidic precipitation could damage plants and materials.

		Smith and Ulm were introduced to Harry Lyon, an American recommended as a good navigator, and he in turn introduced his fellow countryman, James Warner, as flight engineer.
		Smith (generally short of the cash needed to meet his higher aims) considered the option too expensive.

	Introduction to Acid Rain
		The term acid rain was first used by Robert Angus Smith, a scientist working in Manchester in the 1870s.
		The problem of acid rain is hence not a new one but the nature of the problem has changed from being a local problem for towns and cities to being an international problem.
		In Smith’s time, acid rain fell both in towns and cities whilst today pollutants can be transported thousands of kilometres due to the introduction of tall chimneys dispersing pollutants high into the atmosphere.

		In 1872, Doctor Robert Angus Smith was the first to identify the phenomenon now known as "acid rain", in Manchester.
		Angus Smith was most active and probably the first to campaign for the introduction of smokeless fuels.
		Salford first introduced smokeless zoning to the Fairhope and Ladywell Districts in 1949, while the Manchester Corporation Act of 1946 led directly to the first controlled zones in 1952, followed by 105 acres of central Manchester in 1956.

		This threatens soil quality, increases levels of heavy metals in drinking water, damages crops, corrodes bridges and buildings and causes premature human deaths.
		British chemist Robert Angus Smith coined the term ‘acid rain’; in 1870 when he noticed that smoke and steam of early industrialisation contained substances that changed the chemical composition of rain.
		Smith’s warning, alas, went unheeded and the ‘developed’ world only began to take acid showers seriously in the Fifties.

		It was Robert Angus Smith who identified another threat from fossil fuel emissions: acid rain.
		From data collected in Britain and Germany over two decades, Smith found sulfuric acid present in rainfall at levels as high as 21 parts per million.
		Smith also noted that “the stones and bricks of buildings, especially under projecting parts, crumble more readily in large towns where coal is burnt.” He attributed this to “the slow but constant action of acid rain.” It wasn’t until the 1970s that acid rain’s widespread effects on lakes and forests were fully recognized.

		Notes: Robert Angus Smith (1817-1884) was chief inspector of the alkali industry under the United Kingdom's Alkali Works Act of 1863.
		The Act, which was an early example of environmental regulation, set limits on hydrochloric acid gas emissions from alkali plants, and it established a system of inspectors to monitor and enforce the legislation.
		Some data gleaned from Smith's researches show acidic conditions indeed in the manufacturing centers of England and Scotland.

		Most Scientists agree that "normal" rainfall has a pH of 5.6.
		Acid rain is defined as any form of wet precipitation - fog, dew, snow, hail or rain - which has a pH less than 5.6 (on a scale of 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral).

		The chapter on Robert Angus Smith, the first Alkali Inspector, also shows the crucial role played by trained chemists.
		Smith adopted such a balanced approach to emissions control that eventually even the companies he had regulated recognized that he had made a positive contribution.
		Initially, the emissions of greatest concern in the Netherlands were the combination of sulfuric acid and sugars associated with the production of garancine, a red dye extracted from madder.

		Acid rain was first recognized in 1872, approximately 100 years after the start of the Industrial Revolution in England, when an English scientist, Robert Angus Smith (1817–1884), pointed out the problem.
		Almost another century passed, however, before the public became aware of the damaging effects of acid rain.
