Ok Mine is going to be about acid rain. And it might be very boring, but thats how projects are. my is going to be about what it is, where it comes from, what are the effects ect... = __ Acid Rain __ =

Well acid rain is polluted rain by acid that put into the airs atmosphere and damages the environment which is conducted by the coal-fired generators.

Also, there are to types of gas or pollutants that can change into acid: sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOX). And when they mix all together with the atmosphere, that creates acid. Usally they come from coal-fired generators making energy, from smelting furnaces in steel works and from petrol driven motor vehicles plus, most of the problem is in eastern canada because of the water and soil systems lack natural alkalinity in the region. but in the U.S., emmissons measured at 14.8 million tonnes which is more than six times greater than Canada's 2.4 million tonnes.

The effects of acid rain can harm crops and forests and it also pollutes rivers, lakes and streams which damages the animals that live in them. Also in towns, acid rain damages statues and buildings. An acid is a chemical with a sour taste that has the ability to react with a base to form a salt. Acids turn blue litmus paper (also called pH paper) red. Strong acids can burn your skin.it can also start out as dust known a Acidic dust. The acid in the air falls onto the earth as dust and that it can cause an increase in attacks of asthma and bronchitis in humans. The bad part is when the dust is washed away by the pouring water, the acidic dust is washed away into streams, rivers and oceans. the things you can do: - turn off lights and other electronics that you aren't using - buy energy efficient appliances - buy cars that produce less pollution like battery-powered cars

this is a flower that was touched by acid rain....
