Acid Rain

Nowadays, the earth must be confronted with the environment problems such as water pollution , air pollution etc. Especially, the problem of air pollution will be increased continuously. It occurs from the actions and misunderstanding of humans. Acid rain is one of air pollution which has the violent level and effect for the environment. But there aren’t many people who know the real fact of acid rain. Therefore, we should know about the information of acid rain to protect the environment. Acid rain is a result of air pollution. When any type of fuel is burnt, lots of different chemicals are produced. The smoke comes from a fire or the fumes which also contain lots of invisible gases that can be more harmful to our environment.
Acid rain has been widespread in the industry center such as, Europe, America, Japan and China. The acid rain deposit can be in form of rain, fog, snow and has effects on plants, water animals and buildings.The causes of acid rain are sulphur dioxide [SO2] and oxide of nitrogen [Nox]. For instance, nitrogen oxides which comes from combustion of motors and factories are released to the air, and then react with water; oxygen and the other chemical substances. So they assemble to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid which the sunlight catalyzes. The effect of acid rain on the environments can be seen at many locations. First, at forests, acid rain can affect trees in several different ways. It may : dissolve and wash away the nutrients and minerals in the soil; cause the release of harmful substances ; wear away the waxy protective coating of leaves. Next at the lakes and the rivers, as the acidity of a lake increases, thenumbers of fish and other water animals decline. The eggs and young of the fish are the worst affected. Finally, acid rain also affects buildings. Every type of material will become eroded by the effects of the climate. Water, wind, ice and snow all help in the erosion process but unfortunately , acid rain can help to make this natural process even quicker. The way to superintend and protect acid rain problems are : to save energy to decrease the quantity of energy to be used; to support the use of other energies instead of fossil energy .In case you must use the fossil energy, please use the source of energy that has the lower quantity of sulphur, and you should eliminate sulphur before it is burnt to produce the energy. Also you should adhere to the system that eliminates sulphur dioxide and oxide of nitrogen from the rotten gas which occurs from the burnt fossil fuel before releasing it in the atmosphere. In the near future, I think acid rain will become the important problem and have more violent impacts more than the past. because it has many effects on the environment such as plants, animals and human being. Most causes of acid rain are humans, industries and homes. Burning fuels makes air pollution and dangerous compounds. Knowing about the fact of acid rain can help us find the ways that superintend and protect the environment for the purpose of keeping the good environment to my descendants.
