Acid rain sollution?

Question

How do you solve the problem of acid rain polluting lakes? Please help quickly because I'm in my science lesson and need to make a worksheet. Fank You. :D

Answer 1

Rain becomes acid by picking up certain kinds of air pollution and dissolving it in the raindrops. The only way to prevent that is the get rid of that air pollution. One of the biggest sources of such pollution is sulfur from burning coal. To lessen the problem, power plants that burn coal try to find low sulfur coal and they have fume scrubbers to remove the sulfur dioxide from the exhaust. A fume scrubber is basically a long pipe with water spraying in it so that the water drops in that spray pick up the chemicals, just like the rain would, before the gasses can make it to the other end of the pipe. Then you have to do something with that contaminated water, but that is a smaller problem. It can be filtered or chemically treated or even distilled to remove the contamination. Then you have solid waste, which is an even smaller problem.

Answer 2

Acid rain is normally neutralized with basic materials to a salt. Many rocks are basic. How did u check to tell that the lake was acid,quite often it is NO2 ,which is a fertilizer that come from cars. U need to learn how to measure acidity and u can neutralize it with caustic soda . Add in slight amounts might help.
