Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. These gases mix with water vapor and fall to earth as rain with a lower pH. Acid rain damages forests as it kills trees and soils. It also harms lakes by killing fish and disrupting ecosystems. Buildings and infrastructure like bridges face corrosion from acid rain. Exposure to acid rain can negatively impact human health through respiratory issues. Solutions include reducing fossil fuel usage and implementing pollution control technology on power plants and vehicles.
