Acid rain is caused by sulfuric and nitric acids falling to the ground from atmospheric sources like rain, snow, fog, and dust. The major sources producing these acids are the burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity, vehicle and equipment emissions, and various industrial processes. Effects of acid rain include damage to forests, soil chemistry and biology, corrosion of buildings and infrastructure, and increased lung and heart issues in humans due to particles in dry acid deposition. Greenhouses are structures with walls and roofs made of transparent materials like glass that regulate climatic conditions for plant growth.
