As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes. ]]> 2022-01-12 04:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/israelannconway77/25ivml0m2b18slqt/wish/1987492288 WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF TOXIC RAIN TO HUMANS? israelannconway77 https://padlet.com/israelannconway77/25ivml0m2b18slqt/wish/1987500641 The pollution that causes acid rain can also create tiny particles. When these particles get into people's lungs, they can cause health problems, or can make existing health problems worse. This ground-level ozone causes respiratory problems, like pneumonia and bronchitis, and can even cause permanent lung damage. ]]> 2022-01-12 04:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/israelannconway77/25ivml0m2b18slqt/wish/1987500641 MEASURES TO BE TAKEN TO AVOID LESS TOXIC RAIN? israelannconway77 https://padlet.com/israelannconway77/25ivml0m2b18slqt/wish/1987503007 A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.]]> 2022-01-12 05:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/israelannconway77/25ivml0m2b18slqt/wish/1987503007 FUN FACTS ABOUT TOXIC RAIN ! israelannconway77 https://padlet.com/israelannconway77/25ivml0m2b18slqt/wish/1987511244 1 : Like acid rain, there are many other types of precipitations like acid fog, acid snow and acid dust formed with nitric and sulphuric acid. Seems strange, right?

Acid snow, for instance, forms when the rain droplets falling from the atmosphere passes through a freezing area in the air. Its effect last longer that acidic rain because snow takes time to completely melt.

2 : According to the Environmental protection Agency, damage happens when the acidic material remains on the surface of a car after the water evaporates. The acidic substance combined with elements like sunlight eats away a car’s paint very fast.

Acid rain leaves a vehicle with irregular shape and a permanent etch on the surface with clear coated vehicles being the most vulnerable.

3 : Apart from ashes and lava, there are elements like sulfur dioxide produced during the explosion. Sulfur dioxide is a major element of acid rain.

The natural source of nitric oxide(NO) is lightning strikes. When nitric oxide is produced, it quickly reacts with oxygen and fuels acid rain.

4 : Its smell and taste are similar to normal rain.

5 : The ever-growing human population poses a big fear as farmers are likely to use more nitrogen for agriculture, thus increasing nitric acid.
