How can we prevent acid rain?

An effective strategy to lessen acid rain is to switch to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and other energy-generating plants in place of fossil fuels.

To prevent acid rain, measures can be taken at both local and global levels. Some strategies include:

1. Reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from power plants and industrial sources by using cleaner technologies, such as scrubbers and catalytic converters.
2. Implementing stricter regulations and emission standards for industries and vehicles to limit the release of pollutants into the atmosphere.
3. Encouraging the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, which produce fewer pollutants compared to fossil fuels.
4. Promoting energy efficiency and conservation practices to reduce overall energy consumption and emissions.
5. Adopting sustainable agricultural practices to minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that contribute to acid deposition.
6. Enhancing international cooperation and agreements to address transboundary pollution and mitigate the impacts of acid rain on ecosystems and human health.
