Hey mate!
When the pH if rain is less than 5.6, it is called acid rain.
ILL EFFECTS:
Since acid rain is a transboundary pollution problem, acidic emissions produced by one country can be deposited in another. Sweden and Norway, for example, both receive more than 90% of their sulphur pollution from abroad.
If large quantities of acid rain are deposited they may have detrimental consequences for wildlife, forests, soils, freshwater and building. Acid rain acidifies the soils and waters where it falls, killing off plants and animals. Surface water acidification can lead to a decline in, and loss of, fish populations and other aquatic species including frogs, snails and crayfish. Acid rain affects trees, usually by weakening them through damage to their leaves. Certain types of building stone can be dissolved in acid rain.
That's the answer!
Hope it helps :)
