Acid Rain was first noticed a century ago when buildings in the area were being warn away by the acid rain.

Acid Rain is an acidic form of precipitation which can effect our

environment as well as ourselves.

Acid rain can be detrimental to the health of humans. Annually, in the

United States and Canada alone, Acid Rain causes:

•550 premature deaths•1,520 emergency room visits•210,070 asthma symptoms

If it is not stopped, these issues can become larger, and more can arise.

When chemicals such as nitric and sulfuric acids are burned in factories and forests (deforestation) and enter

the atmosphere, they enter the natural biogeochemical cycles and are

released in the form of precipitation (Acid Rain).

Acid Rain affects biogeochemical cycles because its acidity is added to water or

soil in the cycle. It remains present throughout the cycle,

thus affecting everything impacted by the cycle.

Acid Rain effects our environments by damaging

buildings, waters and forests. Its acidity is

detrimental to places with balanced pHs.

Acid Rain can be prevented by stopping the production of emissions, such as nitrogen

and carbon dioxide. One way to do so would be

eliminating the burning of natural gasses or wood.
