Acid Rain

Effects Of  Acid Rain

Acid deposition,simply known as acid rain, derived from man-made emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides through the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation and other purposes. Acid rain has negative effects on the environment in which we live. Since acid rain is a transboundary pollution problem, acidic emissions produced by one country can be deposited in another. 
If  large quantities of acid rain are deposited they may have effect on

• wildlife forests
• soils freshwater
• Buildings
• 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.

Acid Rain accelerates the decay of building materials and paints, including irreplaceable buildings, statues, and sculptures that are part of our nation's cultural heritage. 

Due to sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxide (NO_x) gases and their particulate matter derivatives contribute to visibility degradation and harm public health.

• Sweden and Norway, both receive more than 90% of their sulphur pollution from other countries.

 There are many impacts of acid rain....even simply u can't imagine that...

If you have any other ideas u can share with Us...
