which can be fatal. To avoid the effects of acid rain, an implementation to reduce consumption of fossil fuels should be administered. To reduce the effects of acid rain, there must be a reduction on the amount of pollutants we directly emit into the air. Air pollution is the root cause of acid rain, and with power plants releasing massive amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides when fossil fuels are burned, we are adding more flame to the effects of acid rain. According to (http://www.world-nuclear
trees ' ability to reproduce.” Acid rain deprives soil of its nutrients to allow plants to retain water, thus disrupting the food chain for animals and creatures that depend on plants. The acidity in the water can cause a declining in aquatic animals sensitive to acidic pH levels derived from acid rain, and can cause a ripple effects of animals going extinct. With biodiversity loss, this can cause a disruption of the food chain and the ecosystem. Decline of species can cause a declining slope for the
Acid Rain is the rainfall which is highly acidic in nature, that it causes material atmospheric and environmental depletion. It majorly affects the plants, aquatic creatures, infrastructure etc. Being acidic means it contains elevated level of Hydrogen ions i.e. low pH. Although, normal rain water is already slight acidic with a pH range of 5.3-6.0, because carbon dioxide and water present in the air react together to form carbonic acid, which is a Weak acid. When the pH level of rain water falls
INTRODUCTION Acid rain or also known as acid deposition are divided into two that is wet deposition and dry deposition. Wet deposition is what always be called as acid rain. Acid rain is a term that any form of precipitation with acidic component, such as sulphuric or nitric acid. Example of acid rain form were rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic. Acid rain occur when sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents
Introduction: Rain is one of the most essential ingredients for the survival of human and animal life on Earth. Although rain is naturally acidic, it is being increasingly acidified by the presence of pollutants in the environment. The term used to describe this problem is “acid rain” [1] Burning of fossil fuels for industrial and transport sector have led to increase in concentrations of gaseous and particulate pollutants in the atmosphere leading to air pollution. [2] The oxides of Carbon, Sulfur
Many people think that acid rain is the same as “normal” rain that we usually see; however, they are different. Acid rain has a lot of bad effects and people should know what exactly is acid rain to prevent it; as a result, some people have taken actions by making laws and to try making neutralization. Acid rain has been one of the most common topics to be spoken about these days and happens to have bad causes and effects. Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form of
be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity. Research Questions: What effect does acid rain have on the growth
Acid rain is a term that refers to a mixture of wet and dry deposited material that contains higher amounts of sulfuric and nitric acids. Acid rain can be caused by natural phenomenon such as the ash from a volcanic eruption or decaying vegetation. Acid rain can also be human made from the combustion of fossil fuels that releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Acid rain transpires once these gases react within the atmosphere with oxygen, water, and other chemicals to create different acidic compounds
Does acid rain affect the growth and germination of beans? This is a very important question to all people that are in the business of beans and the people that benefit from their production. There have been a lot of experiments done on how acid rain effects plants, trees and seeds (Environmental Protection Agency, 2013). This is because acid rain is getting worse and becoming a bigger problem by the day. It has not only been known to effect plants but also building, monuments (Yining, 2011) and
Introduction Acid rain is rain that is acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by the emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, that react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. The chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and erosion of stone statues. Acid Rain have always been a problem
