3 Alphas in Management - The 3As (AAAs)

3 Alphas in Management is written using very simple yet effective and proven management techniques that I have been using in my almost 30 years in senior management positions in varied industries. The emphasis of 3 Alphas in Management is on the formation of teams, known as circles, involving every level of personnel in the organization to create a cohesive work force with a sense of purpose within a customer-centric organization.

Acid Rain (Acid Precipitation)
By Marius Bezuidenhout

“Acid rain” is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition (deposited material) from the atmosphere containing amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids higher than normal. The precursors, or chemical forerunners, of acid rain formation result from both natural sources, such as volcanoes and decaying vegetation, and man-made sources, primarily emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) resulting from fossil fuel combustion. In the United States, roughly 2/3 of all SO2 and 1/4 of all NOx come from electric power generation that relies on burning fossil fuels, like coal. Acid rain occurs when these gases react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form various acidic compounds. The result is a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released from power plants and other sources, prevailing winds blow these compounds across state and national borders, sometimes over hundreds of miles. Canada however, has the biggest problem with acid rain.
