ACID RAIN
Slides in this set (3)
-
- rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm
- Cause:
- Burning fossil fuels cause acid rain.
- H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) + HNO3 (nitric acid) = acid rain
- Caption: Effect of acid rain on trees
-
- Normal rain is naturally slightly acidic with a pH of 6
-
- The pH of acid rain is 1000x more acidic than the pH of regular rainwater
-
- Acid rain harms nature tremendously. Many living things are unable to survive in acidic conditions. The pollutants found in acid rain can harm human health, habitats, and other ecosystems.
