Once it has reached ground level, acid rain acidifies lakes and streams that don't have the natural alkalinity needed to neutralize the acid, which can harm or kill plant and animal life. https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161350900 2017-03-20 23:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161350900 CO2 https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351175 Transportation is reported to make up approximately 15% of the world's Carbon Monoxide emissions ]]> 2017-03-20 23:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351175 Acid rain transportation https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351185 2017-03-20 23:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351185 https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351353 In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air.

The activities of the transport industry release several million tons of gases each year into the atmosphere.
Noise. Represents the general effect of irregular and chaotic sounds on people as well as animal life.
Water quality. Transport activities have an impact on hydrological conditions and water quality.
Soil quality. The environmental impact of transportation on soil quality, particularly soil erosion and soil contamination.
Biodiversity. The need for construction materials and the development of land-based transportation has led to deforestation.]]> 2017-03-20 23:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351466 what we can do? https://padlet.com/emgiacobbe/n4vvjyoc1c1m/wish/161351476 Minimize the Miles
Driving cars and trucks also produces large amounts of nitrogen oxides, which cause acid rain. To help cut down on air pollution from cars, you can carpool or take public transportation, such as buses and trains. Also, ask your parents to walk or bike with you to a nearby store or friend’s house instead of driving.
