What is Acid Rain?


Obviously, it is not manmade chemical solution....
  • Acid rain is rain, snow, sleet, or hail that contains acids. Acid rain harms lakes and rivers and kills fish and other water life.Scientists believe it damages forests, soil, statues, bridges, and buildings too. 

  • When chemicals from automobiles and factories mix with the water, they form acids. Most of those chemicals come from burning coal, oil, and fuel. Acid rain has caused damage in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Since the 1950's, the damage is worse. Now it harms areas far away from cities.
