how does acid rain effect our environment?

Question

we need to know ASAP because this is due..pretty soon. thanks. :)

Answer 1

The environment doesn't care, but we get upset when the environment changes - even a little bit.

Answer 2

Acid rain is caused by air pollution, not water pollution You have this mixed up If you want to do acid rain, google it so you know what causes it You wont learn anything just making guesses BTW acid rain could ad to water pollution but it mainly falls on the ground and takes time to travel to the waterways

Answer 3

acid rain affects some regions more strongly then it does others, this is due to the fact that some areas are buffered from the effects of acid rain, such as the midwestern u.s.(due to all the limestone), the northeastern and southern united states are not so buffered because their soils have no limestone to protect the environment from the corrosiveness of the acid. so basically it depends on where you are talking about.

Answer 4

Acid rain has become one of the factors affecting the enviroment seriously.If the rain is very pure, its pH should be 7.But during acid rain it becomes less,as low as 1. Most fish species die when the pH value is less than 5.The aerosol of acid rain can cause respiratory disorders in man.If drinking water is drawn from ponds and lakes where acid rain occured, the aluminium leaching is likely to pose dangers.Aluminium toxicity is linked to kidney failure.Further, acid rain can cause direct damage to architectual structures by corroding famous monuments.Copper leached from water pipes containing acid rain water can cause diarrhoea in children.
