Acid rain restricts global warming by reducing methane emissions from natural wetland areas, suggests a global climate study.
Acid rain is the result of industrial pollution, which causes rainwater to carry small quantities of acidic compounds such as sulphuric and nitric acid. Contaminated rainwater can upset the chemical balance rivers and lakes, killing fish and other organisms and also damage plants, trees and buildings.
But the new study shows that sulphur in acid rain may have benefits, limiting global warming by counteracting the natural production of methane gases by microbes in wetland areas.
Methane is thought to account for 22 percent of the human-enhanced greenhouse effect. And microbes in wetland areas are its biggest producers. They feed off substrates such as hydrogen and acetate in peat and emit methane into the atmosphere.

ACID RAIN COULD FURTHER INCREASE THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.
- Climate change is exacerbated by pollution that creates acid rain.
- For instance, carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, which also cause acid rain and hasten climate change
- Temperature increases often speed up chemical reactions, indicating that acidic material creation is anticipated to rise due to global warming. However, since global warming will also lead to changes in cloud, wind, and precipitation patterns, the expected overall impact on acid rain is uncertain.
- It affects both people and animals' respiratory systems. The aquatic ecosystem is impacted when acid rain falls to the ground and enters ponds, rivers, and lakes. It results in water pollution and changes the chemical makeup of the water in a way that actually makes it difficult for aquatic ecosystems to exist.
- According to evidence uncovered by scientists, acid rain contributed significantly to the biggest extinction on Earth 250 million years ago. Over 250 million years ago, the Permian geologic era came to an end.
- A chemical process that starts when gases like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are discharged into the atmosphere leads to acid rain. These substances have the ability to ascend very far into the sky, where they combine and react with oxygen, water, and other chemicals to produce acid rain, an additional form of acidic pollution.
