To reduce this pollution, the government passed a law permitting the

the pollution were sent high into the air it would no longer be a problem.

Explanation:
Scientists now know that this is incorrect. Sending pollution high into the
sky increases the time that the pollution stays in the air. The longer the
 
pollution is in the air, the greater are the chances that the pollutants will
form acid rain. In addition, the wind can carry these pollutants for
hundreds of miles before they become joined with water droplets to form
acid rain.
