They can potentially impair certain attributes the environment. Acid gas can include oxides of nitrogen, sulfur and carbon as combustion products and other volatile acids such as HCL as industrial emissions.
There is an assimilative capacity for each of these gases in air water and soil. Below this level there is no impact.
Nitrogen and sulfur oxides acn create acid rain
Carbon can impact the pH of waters reducing the formation of corals etc.
Other acid gases can have direct toxic effects beyond pH changes
What else can I help you with?
How can air pollution in one place produce water pollution in another place?
Air pollution can lead to water pollution through a process called atmospheric deposition. Pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emitted into the air can combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acids, which can then fall to the ground as acid rain. This acid rain can carry pollutants and deposit them into bodies of water, leading to water pollution in areas far from the original source of pollution.
How does air pollution contribute to water pollution?
Air pollution can lead to water pollution through a process called atmospheric deposition. Pollutants in the air, such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, can react with water vapor in the atmosphere, forming acidic compounds that eventually fall to the ground in rain or snow. This acid rain can then run off into water bodies, leading to water pollution.
How are fossil fuels related to air pollution and acid precipitation?
When fossil Fuels are burned, they release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere causing air pollution. When these pollutants combine with water in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which makes acid precipitation.
Is acid rain a primary air pollution?
Acid rain is not a primary air pollution, in fact it should more correctly seen as a water or soil pollution problem. It is caused by sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are primary pollutants, being washed out of the air by rain, snow or mists and he resultant acid solution being precipitated onto soil or into watercourses and water bodies.
Can smoke from factories cause acid rain?
Yes, smoke from factories can contribute to the formation of acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the smoke combine with water vapor in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, leading to acid rain. This acid rain can harm ecosystems, damage buildings, and affect water quality.
How does water pollution affect the air?
Air pollution add pollutants to rain water. It may also cause acid rain.
How does air pollution affect the water cycle?
Air pollution add pollutants to rain water. It may also cause acid rain.
How does air pollution affect water cycle?
Air pollution add pollutants to rain water. It may also cause acid rain.
How does acid pollution affect clam oyster and mussel shells?
Acid pollution in clam growth could effect what they eat and the water temperature so yes it can
Whom does water pollution affect?
The creatures that live in the water. Like fish and coral and seaweed and other life.
What are 2 forms of water pollution?
Two kinds of Water pollution is acid and garbage.
How does air pollution effect the water?
Water pollution can affect the air because harmful pollutants will evaporate into the air along with the water. Once it reaches the atmosphere, the rain will become acid rain and fall back down to the earth.
How does acid rain clean water?
pollution
What is Italy's environment problems?

How does acid rain affect ponds and pond life?
pollution and sickness
How do humans affect acid rain?
We build factories that create pollution; in some cases acid rain
What is the pollution sensitivity of a water strider?
acid rain
