What cause acid precipitation?
Normally, rainwater has a pH of 5.6 because the carbon dioxide in the air combines with water to give a weak solution. Now we have rain with a pH of 5 and 4. The causes of this acid rain is the result of the burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gasoline. When fossil fuels are burned sulfer dioxide are produced and they combine with water vaper in the atmoshpere to form sulfuric and nitric acids. Acid rain affects lakes by making the water acidic, fish get sick and die. It also affects limestone buildings, statues, ect. Many trees in the woods get weak because of the water being more acidic.

How is acid rain harmful?
Acid rain is harmful that question depends on how strong the acid is the lower the pH the stronger, Stronger acid corrodes your skin if you get caught in, kills trees by burning their interior cells, Corrodes organisms in lakes and if mixed with other acids this causes severe damages to houses. Sulfur dioxide is released into the atmosphere as a by-product of the combustion of coal or oil, and in the presence of water vapor, it chemically reacts in the atmosphere with oxygen - forming H2SO4 - Sulfuric Acid - the primary constituent of acid rain. Acid rain affects our environment in many ways. Acid rain affects the trees, fish life, crustaceans, contaminates lakes and swimholes and all these things can lead up to bigger problems.
