There are many possible solutions to the problem that we are facing nowadays that is Acid Rain. Acid rain is formed from two main gases that are released in the atmosphere which are sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide. I will talk later about the solutions for acid rain and the effect of this rain and what are the two forms of acid deposition. I have also watched some videos about acid rain? I also should say the most important thing that scientists are doing in their labs. Where acid rain is most effects on which states and does it affect human when we swim in a really high acidic ocean. Acid rain is a mixture of water and gases that have a pH of 5 or lower and it is found in our atmosphere. Acid rain is made out of two main gases nitrogen dioxide which is formed from cars, and sulfur dioxide which is made from factories which burn coal. Acid rain or acid deposition has two main forms that are wet deposition or dry deposition: wet deposition is a form of precipitation and dry deposition is in a form of gases or microscopic particles floating in our air that we breathe. (" toxic Rain: The Effect of Acid rain on the Environment.") The pH scale has numbers from 0 to 14 and acid are from 0-7 but alkali are from 7-14 and neutral is 7. A lake has a ph of 8 or above which is alkali and distilled water is neutral (pH=7), although, New York lakes contain high acid which have the pH of 4 and 4.5 which is below the normal.

Coal burning is doubling every year and the sulfur dioxide is increasing in the past decades and it is gathering in the atmosphere which is harmful for the O-zone layer and that is dangerous because then all over the world the ocean will be acidic and the human life will end forever because it would be the end of the whole food chain.
