Acid Rain
Acid rain, a pressing environmental issue, results from the atmospheric deposition of acidic substances, primarily sulfuric and nitric acids, generated by human activities like burning fossil fuels. These pollutants interact with water vapor in the atmosphere, forming acidic precipitation that poses detrimental effects on ecosystems, soil, water bodies, and even human health. The widespread impact of acid rain underscores the urgency for comprehensive solutions to mitigate its effects and address the underlying sources of air pollution. Understanding its causes and consequences is pivotal in crafting effective strategies for environmental preservation.
