How can acid rain affect biodiversity in a pond?

Together, biological organisms and the environment in which they live are called an ecosystem. The plants and animals living within an ecosystem are highly interdependent. For example, frogs may tolerate relatively high levels of acidity, but if they eat insects like the mayfly, they may be affected because part of their food supply may disappear. Because of the connections between the many fish, plants, and other organisms living in an aquatic ecosystem, changes in pH or aluminum levels affect biodiversity as well. Thus, as lakes and streams become more acidic, the numbers and types of fish and other aquatic plants and animals that live in these waters decrease.

Why we have to use lead free solder?

ANSWER:The use of lead has been reduced over the years because exposure to lead can cause health and reproductive problems. The reason is lead is a heavy metal and once introduced into your body, it is almost impossible to remove it again. Lead has been removed from most paints produced in the US, although some foreign countries do not feel this is in their best interests to use lead free paints and products to the detriment of their citizens. The US has also removed lead from the gasoline we use. See the related link for more information on lead poisioning.
