What is Acid Rain ?

AcidAcid rain rain is caused by emissi ons of compo unds of amm onia, car bo n, nitr ogen, and sul f ur which react with the water molecules in the

atm osphere to p roduce acids .

Rainfall made acidic by atmospheric sulphur and nitrogen oxide

from burning of fossil fuel

HOW IT FORMS?Pollutants from a source of pollution drift up to the atmosphere.O

nce in the atmosphere, the pollutants combine with moistureto form acid rain. The acid rain is collected in a cloud and will bereleased when it rains. The pollutants used in this example arethe two pollutants that cause acid rain: oxides of sulfur andoxides of nitrogen.

Increased acidity can also cause therelease of aluminum and manganese

particles stored in a lake or river bottom.H igh concentrations of these metals aretoxic to fish.
