The primary sources of pollution from combustion are furnaces in factories, engines in vehicles, and the burning of trash in the form of particles or gases. Air P...
Air pollution affects everyone\'s daily life and acid rain one of the many forms of air pollution especially. I chose this subject because people need to understand the detrimental ramifications of acid rain. My admiration of the fashion industry have encouraged me to acquire my fine and elaborate w...
"CHILDREN: THE REAL POLLUTION" People today believe that major companies, the government's nuclear arsenal, and chemical factories are the cause of pollution today. In reality, I believe that children are the cause of pollution today. Today's children are the cause of our...
With new technologies introduced into our society in the past hundred years such as motor vehicles and electric utilities, many pollutants are put into the air. One of these pollutants is Nitrogen oxide. Nitrogen oxide, or NOx, is a group of highly reactive gases, all of which contain nitrogen and...

Acid mine drainage - causes effects and solutions For hundreds, even thousands of years, human beings have mined for metals and stones, and with the advent of greater technology as well as greater needs, the demands for these resources continue to grow. While these resources benefit our...
ACID RAIN By Tore Johnston Imagine looking out the window in the morning and only being able to see a few blocks. It is not snow that you see neither is it heavy rain. It appears to be fog, but not regular fog, it is a harmful, acidic and ugly fog that is a result of very bad air pollution....
We hear about acid rain all the time in the news, and it is essential to the earth\'s ecosystem. In simple terms, acid rain is rain that is more acidic than normal. All objects in nature have a certain acidity level, but acid rain has too much acid in it. Acid rain is a complicated problem caused by...
Acid rain is a serious problem with disastrous effects. Each day this serious problem increases, many people believe that this issue is too small to deal with right now this issue should be met head on and solved before it is too late. In the following paragraphs I will be discussing the impact ha...
Global warming is one of the foremost problems facing our planet today. As pollution rises the ozone layer breaks down, and as the temperatures go on a constant rise glaciers and ice-caps melt. Many people have their doubts about the global warming "theory", however proof of this "t...
In the past century, one of the greatest threats to North America\'s aquatic ecosystem has been the widespread acidification of hundreds of thousands of waterways. Acid rain has effected plant and animal life within aquatic ecosystems, as well as microbiologic activity by affecting the rates of dec...
Fuel of The Future Hydrogen, the simplest element, is composed of one proton and one electron. It makes up more than 90% of the composition of the universe. More than 30% of the mass of the sun is atomic hydrogen. It is the third most abundant element in the earth's surface, and is found most...
Acid Rain The concept of acid rain is often misunderstood by the vast majority of the world, however, most realize that it is a problem. The burning of fossil fuels has released pollutants into our earth's atmosphere. Once airborne, the pollutants form acidic compounds by combining with w...
Techno World The turn of the 21st century had marked an incredible stepping stone in history. Our knowledge and creativities allowed technology to soar higher and farther than anyone could imagine. Computers, mobile-phones, pagers, palm pilots, and electric vehicles are the results of our techno...
1990, the federal Clean Air Act was passed to improve air quality in the United States. President Bush's proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act initially would have led to the introduction of alternative, non-petroleum fuels. The petroleum and oxygenate industries responded by offering a refo...
Acid rain is perhaps the most well known and recognizable form of pollution that is affecting the world today. Acidity is measured using a pH scale, with 7 being neutral. So anything below 7 is considered to be acidic, but as far as acid rain goes, the baseline for identifying acid rain is genera...
What is global warming, and how is it affecting the Earth and its inhabitants? Global Warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth\'s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmos...
When the thought of acid rain comes to mind, a thought of burning acid falling from the sky and destroying everything in sight, and as weird as this sounds it is not that far from the truth. With the population of the world rising, the need for energy increases. When more energy is needed more sulfu...

In this paper I will describe the molecular structure and the chemical properties of water. Also I will discuss the importance of water to living organisms and the effects of acid rain on our environment. Water, as a molecule is a bent molecule and this characteristic makes it a very polar. W...
In the last 10 years, the phenomenon known as acid rain has become recognized both in the United States and Europe as a major environmental danger. Acid rain has brought devastation to thousands of lakes and streams in the U.S. and Canada such as the Colorado Rockies. Some aquatic systems have becom...
