Shrihan: Acid rain is a type of precipitation that has a higher

than normal pH level. This means that it is more acidic than


regular rain, and can have negative effects on the environment
and human health.
Siddaanth: The main cause of acid rain is the emission of
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These
pollutants are produced by burning fossil fuels, such as coal
and oil, and are released into the air through industrial
processes and vehicle emissions.
Shrihan: When these pollutants react with water vapor in the
air, they form sulfuric and nitric acids, which can then be carried
by winds and deposited onto the ground as acid rain.
Siddaanth: Acid rain can have a range of negative effects,
including the acidification of soil and water, which can damage
plants and aquatic life. It can also corrode buildings and other
structures, and can have negative health effects on humans if
inhaled or ingested.
Shrihan: To reduce the occurrence of acid rain, it is important
to reduce the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
into the atmosphere. This can be done through the use of
cleaner energy sources, such as renewable energy, and by
implementing stricter regulations on industrial emissions.
Siddaanth : Thank you for listening to our presentation on the
causes of acid rain. By understanding the causes of this
phenomenon and taking steps to reduce emissions, we can
help protect the environment and human health.
