What effect does acid rain have on humans?

Answer 1

Acid rain happens due to the formation of acidic compounds in the clouds present in the atmosphere.Acid rain makes the soil acidic which affects agriculture and bars the growth of trees severely.It also effects the monuments and buildings.

Answer 2

1. Loss of recreational opportunity. Acid rain causes sterilization of aquatic environments in areas where aluminum-bearing minerals are common. The acidity of the rainwater causes inert aluminum-bearing minerals to decompose, allowing toxic aluminum to enter lakes and streams. This causes die-off of aquatic organisms, including fish. This phenomenon has caused the destruction of opportunities for recreational fishing in many areas of the eastern United States. 2. Accelerated weathering of buildings and sculpture. Buildings and sculptures made of calciferous sedimentary and metamorphic minerals are particularly susceptible to accelerated weathering caused by acid rain. Limestone, marble, dolomite and other calcium carbonate-rich stones are common construction materials, particularly in older buildings, and are highly reactive to acid rain. Many marble sculptures and decorative architectural elements have been moved indoors to protect them from acid rain and other atmospheric pollutants. Sometimes a replica is substituted, as in the case of Michelangelo's David sculpture.

Answer 3

When people breath in air pollution, acid particulates can quickly and easily enter your lungs, which can cause breathing problems. They can also lead to lung cancer.
