People cam walk, cycle or share cars to reduce pollution from vehicles. People can also use public transport rather than always travelling by car. Everyone can also make an effort to save energy by switching off lights when they are not being used and using energy saving appliances- when less electricity is being used, pollution from power plants decreases. You can also use an alternative energy source such as batteries, solar or wind power, electricity and many others.
What else can I help you with?
Rain that contains a large amount of acid?
acid rain (it can destroy limestone) (it also made the Statue of Liberty green)
What would reduce acid rain?
Acid rain is caused by factories burning sulphur, which produces sulphur dioxide. Cars also burn fuel which contributes to acid rain, so if people walked more and factories reduced or in fact stopped the amount of sulphur they burnt, then we wouldn't have so much acid rain. Consider 6 billion weekly loads of laundry and all those cooked meals.
What can you do to have less acid rain?
To stop, or reduce the amount of acid rain, you can shut down factories which make pollution. First, acid rain is made of pollution and rain water. When mixed and let gone, there is acid rain falling from the sky.
How do we know which rain is acid rain?
when the rain has a pH of 4 and below. PH standing for the potential of hydrogen- the amount of acid in any liquid.
How does calcium carbonate help to reduce the amount of acid rain?
Calcium carbonate is an alkali. It reacts with the acids and neutralises the acid rain.
Why is normal rain not regarded as a form of acid rain?
It depends on the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere. There is always an amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, and this causes a mild form of acid rain everywhere, so all rain is somewhat acidic. More extreme acid rain occurs from unregulated emissions from factories and power plants.
What is the difference between acid rain and rain?
Acid rain is different to regular rain as it contains compounds of nitric oxide and other gases that have combined with water vapour in rain clouds to become acid rain...at least, i think so : )
What are the long term and short term effects of acid rain?
Short term effects of acid rain include damage to plants, aquatic life, and infrastructure. Long term effects may include soil acidification, reduced biodiversity, and corrosion of buildings and monuments. Acid rain can also contribute to respiratory problems in humans and animals.
How can reduce the amount of acid rain?
Reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, the main precursors of acid rain, can help reduce the amount of acid rain. Implementing stricter regulations on industries, promoting the use of clean energy sources, and enhancing the efficiency of vehicles can also contribute to decreasing acid rain. Additionally, international cooperation and agreements are key in addressing this global environmental issue.
What has caused an increase in the amount of acid rain?
Air pollution, mainly created from automobile emissions and waste of fossil fuels, combines with water molecule to form acid rain.
What is rain acid?
rain with acid
How is vegetation affected by acid rain?
Acid rain can harm vegetation by altering the pH of the soil, making it more acidic. This can lead to nutrient imbalances, reduced nutrient uptake, and overall stress on plants. It can also damage plant leaves and inhibit photosynthesis, which affects growth and productivity.
