Acid rain is rainfall with a pH level below 5.6, formed when oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere combine with moisture to produce nitric and sulfuric acids. It is deposited through wet deposition via precipitation or dry deposition by sticking to surfaces through dust and smoke. Acid rain pollutes water bodies by increasing pH levels, damages forests by affecting flora and fauna, and corrodes certain materials in architecture and art.

3. Acid rain is a rainfallthat has a PTL level of less than5.6.
It is formed when oxides of nitrogenand sulfitecombine with
moisture in theatmosphere to make nitricand sulphuric acids.

5. The two primary sources of acid rain are sulphur dioxide and
oxides of nitrogen.

6. Acidicdepositionsoccurs in these ways –
1) Wet
2) Dry

7. Wet depositions are any form of precipitation thatremoves acid
from the atmosphere and deposits themon earth’s surface.

8. Dry deposition pollutingparticles and gases stick to theground via
dust and smoke in theabsence of precipitation.

9. 1) Acid rain pollutes the water body by increasingtheirph
level.

10. 2) Acid rain affectsforests by damagingflora and fauna.

11. 3) It has animpact on architecture and art because of its ability to
corrode certain material.

12. 4) It disrupts soil nutrients,kills micro-organisms in thesoil and
sometimes causes calcium deficiency.

13. 5) It also causes respiratory problems. The so2 and no2
emission gives risk to respiratory problems such as
dry coughs , asthma, and throat infections.
