______________________

◆ ACID RAIN :

Oxides of sulphur and nitrogen are released into atmosphere through burning of coal, timber and fuel oils. Those oxides mix with rain water and form acids like sulphuric acid, nitric acid, nitrous acid, etc. These acids mix with rain drops and snowflakes and come down as rain, called as acid rain.

◆ EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN :

1. Acidity of soil and water bodies increases due to acid rain. It harms the aquatic organisms, plants and entire forest life. Total ecosystems are adversely affected.

2. Erosion of building, busts, historical monuments, bridges, metal idols, wire fences, etc.

3. Heavy metals like mercury and cadmium are absorbed up by plants and thereby enter the food chain indirectly due to acid rain.

4. Due to acidification of water in water bodies and pipes, leaching of metal and plastic material occurs in water and thereby serious health problems arise.
