Causes effects and possible remedies for acid rain

Answer 1

Acid Rain,"  or more precisely acid precipitation, is the word used to describe rainfall that has a pH level of less than 5.6.  This form of air pollution is currently a subject of great controversy because of it's worldwide environmental damages.  For the last ten years, this phenomenon has brought destruction to thousands of lakes and streams in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe.  Acid rain is formed when oxides of nitrogen and sulfite combine with moisture in the atmosphere to make nitric and sulfuric acids.  These acids can be carried away far from its origin.  This report contains the causes, effects, and solutions to acid rain.

     The two primary sources of acid rain are sulfur dioxide (SO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).  Sulfur dioxide is a colourless, prudent gas released as a by-product of combusted fossil fuels containing sulfur.  A variety of industrial processes, such as the production of iron and steel, utility factories, and crude oil processing produce this gas.  In iron and steel production, the smelting of metal sulfate ore, produces pure metal. This causes the release of sulfur dioxide.

Answer 2

burning of fossil fuels released a variety of pollutants such as Na2 , Sa2 into the atmosphere which form gases like nitric oxide , sulphur oxide which come down with rain . the rain that come is called acid rain.
