Abstract

A computer implemented method for selective diffusion of acid rain. A number of processor units identifies concentrations of acidic gases using a set of satellite images. The number of processor units locates hot spots on a land using the concentrations of acidic gases. The number of processor units classifies the hot spots on the land into vulnerable zones having vulnerable zone classifications. The number of processor units determines cloud seeding materials and alkaline compounds known for the vulnerable zones to selectively diffuse the acidic gases and cause precipitation in the vulnerable zones based on the vulnerable zone classifications for the vulnerable zones.
