Acid rain refers to all types of precipitation--rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog--that is acidic in nature. Acidic means that these forms of water have a pH lower than the 5.6 average of rainwater. Acid rain kills aquatic life, trees, crops and other vegetation, damages buildings and monuments, corrodes...

Introduction Since the beginning of time, humans have learned to make use of many things in nature such as fire and electricity. From the early times through the Industrial Revolution to the Space Age, humans have produced inventions that use many of the earth's varied energy resources to make livi...

Acid rain is one of the most widely publicized environmental problems of today. It has been known for many years that the chemical content of precipitation can vary as a result of scavenging of atmospheric gases and particles. The consequences of widespread acid precipitation are adverse and benefic...
