  • Direct effects on plant growth due to toxification of soil.
  • Blocks stomata pores of leaves.
  • It takes away soil nutrients, causing stunted growth.
  • Degradation of chlorophyll
  • Destroy ponds and other water bodies, killing fishes and other aquatic animals.
  • Damage houses and other buildings like monuments and statue, especially those made of Marble and Limestone, as they contain large amount of calcium carbonates. Example, before Taj Mahal was white now it is yellow due to acidic rain.
  • 7. Causes nitrogen pollution.

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 issues, like pneumonia and bronchitis, and can even cause permanent lung damage.

As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminium from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes.

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.
