Question

If the pollution comes from many sources, such as acid deposition and pesticides, it is called __________

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by the wind. As a result, the two compounds can travel long distances where they become part of the rain, sleet, snow, and fog that we experience on certain days.

Hence, The pollutant in air responsible for acid rain is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
