Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from industries, vehicles, and power plants reacting with water in the atmosphere. It damages buildings, forests, aquatic life, and can harm human health. The document outlines the causes and effects of acid rain, including how it harms structures through corrosion, destroys forests by stripping leaves of protective coatings, and raises acidity levels in water bodies affecting fish and other aquatic organisms. Strategies to address acid rain are proposed, such as reducing emissions and increasing use of pollution control devices in industries and vehicles.
