Acid rain can wash away nutrients in the soil, which soils naturally contain a little of poisoness minerals such as murcery and aluminum. These minerals don't cause big problems, but when acid rain falls on them, chemical reactions occur making the poisoness minerals to be swallowed up by the plant roots. The trees and plants will be damaged and any animals eating them will take the poison and will stay in their bodies.
