Acid rain affects us in many different ways. One major way is our health. Breathing and lung problems in children and adults who have Asthma and in children have been linked to acid air pollution. Everything that we eat, drink, and breathe has at one time come in contact with acid deposits. This could threaten our health by making us become sick. The following health problems occur each year in the U.S. and Canada due to acid rain:
550 premature deaths
1,520 emergency room visits
210,070 asthma symptom days
As you see, if acid rain became a little less of a problem, then there would be many health problems that could be avoided.
