For Canadian acid precipitation data, check http://www.ns.doe.ca/aeb/
ssd/acid/index.html.
For US data, check the National Acid Deposition Program's site at 
http://nadp.nrel.colostate.edu/NADP/isopleth.maps/95maps.html for
1995 data.  Change 95maps.html to 94maps.html for 1994 data.  That
should be exactly what you are looking for.

All motor vehicles produce NOx, most produce SOx also, so anywhere that there
is rain, there is acid rain!

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years
fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
