They wrote that ten patients went from testing positive for HIV to testing negative within months of starting treatment with medicinal synthetic aluminium–...

Environment Agency - Acid rain

Once the acidic gases have been emitted to the atmosphere they can be transported over large distances. Hydrogen chloride is highly soluble and is deposited close to source areas, whereas sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are relatively insoluble (at atmospheric concentrations) and are therefore usually transported much further from the source before being deposited. For example, around 90% o...
