Does acid rain affect the UK?
yes ----------------------- However, less so than in the past because while traffic caused acid rain is still a problem, SO2 acid pollution from factories and power stations is now mitigated by removing this from the exhaust gasses.
Can you stop acid rain?
No, not entirely because some of it is natural. However, it is possible to do stuff about the pollutants that man puts into the atmosphere that cause man made acid rain. In England now, all the power stations must 'scrub' the gasses coming out of the chimney to remove the sulphur dioxide which causes acid rain (it is tuned into drywall).
Which one of the following causes acid rain deforestaion soil erosion water pullolion and coal power stations?
Coal power stations are the primary cause of acid rain, deforestation, soil erosion, water pollution, and other environmental issues. The burning of coal releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain. Coal mining also contributes to deforestation and soil erosion, while the disposal of coal ash can contaminate water sources.
Which pollutant can lead to acid rain?
Power stations, factories and cars all burn fuels and they all produce gases. Some of these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric and nitric acids.The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid - known as "acid rain".
What do they put in chimneys of power stations to produce acid rain?
Chimneys of power stations typically release sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere as byproducts of burning fossil fuels. When these gases combine with moisture in the air, they form sulfuric and nitric acids, which fall back to Earth as acid rain. This process can lead to environmental damage, including soil and water acidification, affecting ecosystems and human structures.
How could acid rain be reduced in coal fired power stations?
== == Acid gas emissions cold be reduced by: * Reducing demand on the station (less fuel burned less emissions) * Make the staitons more efficient * Use a lower sulfur coal * Improve NOx forming conditions in the boilers * Remove Acid Gases by treatmnt before discahrge * Close inefficient stations * Have a shedding strategy for the network that uses lower politon emitting stations first
What is killing the forests of northern Europe?
Trees are dying because of CHEMTRAILS - search it on google and youtube!
Where does acid rain come from in Europe?
Acid rain in Europe primarily comes from industrial activities like burning fossil fuels, emissions from transportation, and agriculture. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere mix with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acid, which falls back to the ground as acid rain.
Does solar power contribute to acid rain?
No, solar power does not contribute to acid rain. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. Solar power generates electricity by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells, which does not produce emissions that contribute to acid rain.
When coal is burnt in power stations which oxides can be released which can react with water vapour in clouds to form acid rain?
the sulphur is a base in fossil fuels (in this case coal). when the coal burns the sulphur reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce sulphur dioxide which reacts with water vapour to form acid rain
Does it rain acid rain in cities?
yes mainly because there is alot of power plants
How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
Calcium carbonate is used in power stations to neutralize acid emissions by reacting with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the flue gas. The reaction forms calcium sulfate, calcium nitrate, and water, which are less harmful and can be safely disposed of. This process helps reduce the environmental impact of acid rain caused by these acidic emissions.
