About this document

Acid Rain by msjeksmjrjrlms is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Acid rain, first identified by Robert Angus Smith in the 19th century, occurs when gases like CO2 and SO2 react with atmospheric water, resulting in harmful acidity with pH levels as low as 2. This phenomenon leads to ecological damage, including soil acidification, nutrient leaching, and the mobilization of toxic metals, as well as significant harm to limestone and marble structures. The chemical reactions involved in acid rain formation include the creation of carbonic, sulfurous, and nitric acids.
