Acid Rain
Definition
Acid rain can be defined as; rain with lower than normal pH (which lies in aci
dic range
means; is less than 7) due to presence of acidic component(s) in it.
Causes and Sources
Owing to the modernization of world, there could be identified elevated levels of various
pollutants in the surroundings as a consequence of which, diverse chemical reactions can take
place. For instance; release of Nitrogen (as; NO2, NO3) and Sulphur (like; SO2, SO4) related
compounds from industries and vehicles etc sources might lead towards formation of Nitric and
Sulphuric acid respectively because of reaction of such compounds with water- vapor present in
surroundings. These acids can fall on earth in the form of rain and may be termed responsible for
several adverse consequences (Sackner et al., 1978).
Impacts
In such unfavorable outcomes we may involve (i) destruction of vegetation, (ii)
reduction in the fertility of soil, and (iii) devastation of water resources (like; lake and pond) and
so on....
