How does acid rain work?

Question

i know acid falls from the sky, but thats about it...does the acid burn people, or do they just call it that?!?

Answer 1

well if acid rain eats the paint off of cars it will definately burn you. it is caused my the air pollution from industrial areas especially facories with combustion, such as oxidesof sulfur adn nitrogen. there can also be acid dew, frost, and even acid fog! maybe you can look up soem more information. Im looking in my meteorolgy book and its hard to explain the process of acid rain through here

Answer 2

Acid can burn people and what ever thing but acid fall from the sky (rain) very use full for car battery

Answer 3

no, it doesn't burn you. only an absolute moron would say that it does. acid rain simply has a slightly lower ph level than regular water. it doesn't harm anything except car paint, and it takes years of heavy rain for that to happen. hell, the lactic acid in milk is more acidic. any plants that have vibrant colours, llike roses or pansies and such, need acid rain for the colour. the only thing people really whine about is the ph level in lakes, but that all balances out with forest fires. the ashes get in the air, and settle in the lakes, and the ash de-acidifies the water

Answer 4

Well acid rain is water that is mixed with chemicals in the air that produce a PH scale more acidic than water. Acid rain does harm the environment, including humans. So, yes it is harmful. Acid rain can be created many different ways. Most of it is created my chemical plants releasing harmful chemicals into the air so it can mix when clouds are formed.

Answer 5

Yes it does actually burn people. Because of serious pollution, acid rain can damage buildings and burn people.

Answer 6

i believe the acid rain can affect the skin if one is exposed to it for extensive length of time and the acid content of the rain is at a high enough concentration.
