Effects Of Acid Acid Deposition
770 wordsAcid Rain is a type of air pollution, formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmosphere moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids, which may then be carried long distances from a source before they are deposited by rain. This pollution may also be snow, fog, or a dry form of precipitation. Acid rain is currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed, including eroding structures, injuring crops and forests, and th...
