There are various things that are required by the human beings in the day to day functioning of the human body.
There are vital organs in the human body that carry out various important functions.
There are enzymes and chemical substances called the hormones also present.
The hormones are used for coordination between the various functions in the human body and for a better balancing of these chemicals the advent of pH is very important.
There is lot of importance of pH in everyday life of an human being. This concept has to be clearly understood in order to proceed further.
There is range of value of pH within the human body works. There are certain terms called acid indicator and base indicator.
They have to be studied in order to understand the concept of pH.
They are basically used to know how the water in the swimming pool is safe for us or why the food we eat everyday is not going to have an adverse effect on us.
The value of the pH for the human body is in the range of 7 to 7.8. This range shows the importance of pH in everyday life which makes an important statement about the kind of environment we would like to be in.
The pH of the rain water could also be measured and it is experimentally found that most of the rainfall for the first 10 -15 minutes is acidic in nature.
If the value of the pH is found to be less than the value 5.6 then the rain is thought to be acidic. Acidic rains is highly damaging in nature. The acidic rain effect is evident for architectural marvel of the world the Taj Mahal. The main cause of this is the Mathura Oil refinery and many of the factories that has come up in the vicinity of Taj.
The air in the surrounding areas are polluted and are filled with gaseous particles responsible for such type of rain. This type of rain could cause damage to the crops as well and change the pH of crop field soil profile.

Importance of pH in everyday life
1)pH in our digestive system
Our stomach produces hydrochloric acid.This dilute hydrochloric acid helps in digesting our food without harming the stomach.Sometimes excess of acid is produced in the stomach.The excess acid in the stomach causes indigestion which produces pain and irritation.In order to cure indigestion,we can take bases called antacids.Being basic in nature,antacid react with excess acid in the stomach and neutralises it.
The two common antacids are Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide)and Sodium Bicarbonate(Baking soda)
2)pH change as the cause of tooth decay
When we eat food containing sugar,then the bacteria present in our mouth break down the sugar to form acids.This acid lowers the pH in the mouth.Tooth decay starts when the pH of acid formed in the mouth falls below 5.5.This is because then the acid becomes strong enough to attack the enamel of our teeth and corrode it.This sets in tooth decay.The best way to prevent tooth decay is to clean the mouth thoroughly after eating food.
hope this helps you
