Is acid snow real if it is how is it made?

Yes, acid snow is a real phenomenon that occurs when snowflakes combine with acidic pollutants in the atmosphere, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can come from sources like industrial activities and vehicle emissions. When acid snow melts, it can lead to acid rain, which can have harmful effects on the environment.

Are there any health problems associated with acid rain?

Acid rain in large amounts can produce health issues, however a average acid rain fall does not contain enough acid to really cause any damage or health issues. In order to have enough acid in the rain to cause noticeable health issues, there must be at the least a foot of rain on the ground. Now even if that much rain is common where you live, acid rain is very rare. Even when it is acid rain there is no real way to tell the difference between the two, unless you have all the proper scientific equipment to test it right then and there.

How could acid rain affect a statue that was made of stone?

If the stone is marble or limestone - and many statues are - acid rain will slowly but surely eat away at it - a kind of slow-motion "dissolving", as it were. It is very real, and a very serious problem.

How does acid rain affect rocks?

Rainwater contains carbonic acid, and chemically reacts with rocks, particularly carbonate ones, dissolving them slowly.As sulphur and other gases (most commonly found as byproducts of industrial activities) diffuse into clouds, the overall acidity of the rainwater will increase. In small amount this is not a real problem, but when the amounts begin to increase you can get problems such as acid rain. As rainwater is naturally acidic the effects of pure rainwater on rocks will be the same as those with acid rain (although the rate of acid decay of the rock will be higher with acid rain). The effects of the acid rain are most noticeable on limestone (as it is very susceptible to acid erosion due to its high carbon content). The acid will corrode the surface of the rock, allowing to be more easily dissolved into the water and carried away. Over time this can cause serious problems to the overall structure of the rock. If acid rain affects buildings then the outer walls will often be checked to ensure that they will still be able to help support the building.
