Acid rain is precipitation with a higher than normal pH level caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water vapor in the air after being emitted through burning fossil fuels and industrial processes. It can damage plants, aquatic life, and structures through acidification of soil and water, and also negatively impact human health. Reducing emissions of these pollutants through cleaner energy and stricter regulations can help reduce the occurrence of acid rain.

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.
