CAUSE AND EFFECT OF ACID RAIN
Acid rain is defined as all kinds of rain with pH below 5.6. Acid rain is caused by sulfur which is an impurity in fossil fuels as well as nitrogen in the air that reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These substances diffuse into the atmosphere and react with water to form sulfuric acid and soluble nitric acid so that it falls with rain water.
Simply put, the acid formation reaction is as follows:
FACTORS CAUSE OF ACID RAIN
The occurrence of an event certainly there is why, as well as the phenomenon of acid rain. The occurrence of acid rain today is more often caused by various activities of men.
Some causes of acid rain :
- Sulfur and nitrogen produced by industry.
- Sulfur and nitrogen generated by power plants.
- Sulfur and nitrogen produced by motor vehicles.
- Ammonia produced by agricultural activities.
EFFECT OF ACID RAIN
The incidence of acid rain has a detrimental effect on the earth and the life within it.
Some effect of acid rain :
- Causes respiratory distress in humans.
- Causes corrosion of buildings.
- Cause plants dry, wilt and die
- Destructive infrastructure facilities on earth.
- Damaging the aquatic ecosystem.
Hii yogiQ ,,, I am Novi, I live in an industrial area, is there any effect on my body due to acid rain in my area? How to prevent it? And what about the land in the area, because I plan to plant oil palm..
BalasHapushi novi
HapusThe direct effects of acid rain on health are not really there. However, particles produced by acid rain, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, can have a negative impact on health and to prevent it Reduce the population in the air
Acid rain is also known to reduce soil fertility, causing the soil to become barren.
How the process so that acid rain can damage the water ecosystem?
BalasHapusWhen acid rain falls will increase the acid content in the water ecosystem can disrupt fish to take nutrients, salt and oxygen.
HapusSome species of aquatic biota will die because they can not survive in an acidic environment.
How to prevent acid rain?
BalasHapusTo prevent acid rain by reducing pollution in the air
HapusWhat should we do to decrease the impact from acid rain?
BalasHapusUsing public transport when traveling so as to reduce air pollution
HapusWhy air pollution can cause acid rain?
BalasHapusBecause air pollution produces acidic gases in the air and meets with moisture in the air resulting in acid rain
HapusIs acid rain related to global warming? Tell me the reason
BalasHapusNo, because acid rain caused by sulfur substance (sulfur) in the atmosphere which is a gas produced from burning fossil fuels that exist on earth.
