Acid Rain Done By: Francis Lolas Teacher: Christine Due Date: 19/9/2012 Grade: 10 MYP 5 A 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

Acid rain causes acidification of lakes and streams and contributes to the damage of trees at high elevations (for example‚ red spruce trees above 2‚000 feet) and many sensitive forest soils. In addition‚ acid rain accelerates the decay of building materials and paints‚ including irreplaceable buildings‚ statues‚ and sculptures that are part of our nation’s cultural heritage. Prior to falling to the earth‚ sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) gases and their particulate matter derivatives—sulfates

Life Effects of Acid Rain There are many different types of negative effects acid rain has on the world. Acid rain is the mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Pollution contributes to the forming of acid rain. One of the main causes is industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels the oxides they contain and combine with atmospheric water which forms acids. One of the effects of acid rain is the loss of fish

be talking about Acid rain in this atmospheric and the issues behind it. “Acid rain is also called acid precipitation or even acid deposition is precipitation possessing a pH of 5.2 or below primarily produced from the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx; the combination of NO and NO2) from human activities mostly the combustion of fossil Fuels”(Butler and Likens‚ 2012) I will also comparing and contrasting the indoor air pollution tobacco smoke with acid rain. “Tobacco smoke

sources of acid precipitation in your community? What impact can this have on the environment in your region? Some of the probable sources of acid precipitation is Fog‚ and rain. During the summer it hardly rains which makes it hard for our crops to grow‚ also since we are in the valley it makes it hard for us to get the water that we need. During the fall it gets very foggy in the mornings and it makes it very difficult to see while your driving. Prevailing winds can also transport the acid precipitation

Amanda Nettle Acid Rain Lab Report Due 3/14/14 Period 1 Acid rain has impacted the environment of Connecticut and much of the United States. Acid rain also has a financial impact on cities and states. Acid rain is caused by pollution. When resources are burned into the atmosphere‚ the pollutants are released‚ and acid rain occurs. Tremendous amounts of money are spend yearly on cleaning and renovating structures damaged by acid rain. Problem: Acid rain is very destructive to many

world. There are several causes such as burning fossil fuels‚ emission of pollutants‚ smoking and transportation which contribute in developing air pollution. These causes may lead to several difficulties on the environment‚ such as health problems‚ acid rain and global warming. One of the most important effects of air pollution is bringing on breathing problems‚ such as asthma. Since children are more active than elderly people and breathe more rapidly and take more air into their lungs‚ they are so

Just imagine one day having to walk outside wearing a mask or not being able to open the windows of your house on a hot summer’s day‚ or even worse‚ imagine looking out of your window and not seeing any form of life; all vegetation has died due to acid rain and other chemical such as sulphur poisoning. Some of these ideas can become a reality if something is not done about this problem‚ which in my opinion is far greater than the wars that are going on the world at this moment. 2. Well what is air

Acid Rain Over to you 1. Lime is basic‚ and it will neutralize the acid in the lake. A smokestack scrubber contains catalysts and other chemicals that help pull harmful substances out of the smoke before it’s expelled into the atmosphere. This won’t reduce the acidity of the lake right away‚ but it will reduce the amount of acid rain. Over time‚ the lake will slowly lose its acidity. Liming of acid lakes is the common solution to the problem. But it is only a temporary fix of the result
