Can acid rain actually happen?

Question

Just curious.

Daft one im 22 why?

Answer 1

Yes it can.

Two of the many gas emissions from car exhausts and factories are Nitrous Oxide and Sulphur Dioxide.

These gases dissolve in rain as it falls and become dilute Nitric Acid and dilute Sulphuric Acid respectively

Answer 2

Acid rain happens when there is a lot of pollution in the environment that picked up by the evaporating water off the ground. I dont remember the exact ph but its almost anything under the PH of 6.5, the lower the number the more deadly. It happened all the time in more developed areas and many times in rural areas as well because of wind currents carrying the rain.

Answer 3

Acid rain actually occurs in industrially advanced cities Like Toronto and Los Angels.If the rain is pure its pH value should be 7.But during acid rain it goes below 3.5.Acid deposition is responsible for acidification of lakes and streams and forest damage in North America and Europe.Most fish die if pH value becomes less than 5.
Acid deposition is produced by the release of sulphur dioxide and Nitric oxide and occurs as rain,snow or solid particles.

Answer 4

acid rain does occur in areas of high concentrations of air pollution typically from the burning of fossil fuels. it was first observed during the industrial revolution in England.

Answer 5

Yes. It happens when toxic waste (usually from a neuclear power plant) is evaporated with sources of water.
Hence the naim acid RAIN.

Answer 6

there wouldnt be a thing called acid rain if it didnt.

Answer 7

all rain is acid due to the chemicals in the atmospher.

Answer 8

aye lass---

smoke from industrial park - mixes with rain or dew when it falls

you should see our cars

just forget the paint job if you leave it outside

yep

Answer 9
