what can you do?
Government agencies and scientists are not the only ones that can take action to stop acid rain. You can become part of the solution, too!
Understand the Problem
The first step you can take to help control acid rain is to understand the problem and its solutions. Now that you have learned about this environmental issue, you can tell others about it. By telling your classmates, parents, and teachers about what you learned on this site, you can help educate them about the problem of acid rain. You CAN make a difference!
Conserve Energy
Since energy production creates large amounts of the pollutants that cause acid rain, one important step you can take is to conserve energy. You can do this in a number of ways:
Minimize the Miles
Driving cars and trucks also produces large amounts of nitrogen oxides, which cause acid rain. To help cut down on air pollution from cars, you can carpool or take public transportation, such as buses and trains. Also, ask your parents to walk or bike with you to a nearby store or friend's house instead of driving.
There is no symbol for acid rain.
No. NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base, not an acid, and is not found in rain. Acid rain is rain that is unusually acidic due to the presence of nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Acid rain is still mostly water.
Acid Rain is a mixture.
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
Acid rain eats away marble. Many ancient buildings are ruined by acid rain.
Acid rain is acid rain.
rain with acid
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
carbonic acid rain and sulfuric acid rain
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
by sulfuric acid
no, the acid haven't rain it
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
no, not really. acid rain has pollutants in it, but acid rain itself is not a pollutant
Acid rain can dissolve stones.

When Sulfuric Acid mixes with rain, it creates Acid Rain.
