The given line graph illustrates the changes of the amount of acid rain emissions of the UK, computed in millions of tonnes, from four different economic zones over 17-year period starting from 1990.
An overview of the graph shows that there was an upward trend in the amount of acid rain emissions from the "Transport and Communication" sector. By contrast, the rest of the sectors, including "Electricity, Gas and Water Supply", "Domestic" and "Other industries", witnessed a downward trend.
In 1990, the figure of the emissions registered the highest among the four, standing at around 3.4 million tonnes. Nonetheless, then, this number plunged to 0.5 million tonnes in 2007 despite some fluctuations between 1996 and 2000. A similar trend can be seen in the quantity of acid rain emissions from the "Domestic" sector, as it stood at nearly 2.1 million tonnes in 1990 and fell moderately to roughly 1.3 million tonnes in 2007. The amount of acid rain emissions from the "Other industries" sector also dropped but more slightly. It stood at 0.6 million tonnes in 1990 and decreased to just below 0.3 million tonnes in 2007.
On the other hand, the amount of acid rain emissions increased steadily from under 0.7 million tonnes in 1990 until it exceeded the amount of the emissions from the "Electricity, Gas and Water Supply" sector, and then reached to 1 million tonnes in 2005. By 2007, it declined to approximately 0.75 million tonnes.
Note that “acid rain emissions” does not make sense! Acid rain does not produce emissions. I googled it and found a few suspicious sites purporting to be about IELTS training using it.
