Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide
1,127 words
Acid rain is precipitation of higher than normal
acidity. Manmade increases in the acidity of
precipitation are traced mainly to the burning of
coal, oil, and gas by heavy industry and
electrical utilities. Burning these fuels releases
sulfur and nitrogen oxides (Sox and Nox) to the
atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to
produce sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and nitric acid
(HNO 3). The acids in the atmosphere are carried
and deposited on the earth s surface in the forms
of rain, snow, and...
