What is acid rain how does it affect plants and the environment and the steps society can take to help reduce its effects?

Acid rain comes from Gaseous Sulfur evaporating into the air. When it goes into the clouds, it reacts with the water vapor to make sulfuric acid. Then, when the cloud turns into water droplets, it brings the sulfuric acid down with it, typically in low concentrations.

This will erode any substance with Calcite (a mineral) in it. Since Limestone and marble have this mineral, many buildings, statues, and surfaces are affected by acid rain. However, this affect will only be significantly felt by long term exposure.

We can curb the problem by using materials other than limestone for buildings and by "washing" chemical plant towers that emit Sulfur. "washing" involves sending water down the stacks to catch the sulfur and wash it down to a separation area below.
