The Realities of Acid Rain... School 11/xx The Realities of Acid Rain Acid precipitation can take many forms including rainfall, snow, fogand particulate vapor collections of even more acidic water. This type of material can also be deposited in dry forms as dust-like particles which settle and coat objects as well as permeating the breathable atmosphere. The more acidic the compound the more likely that deposits will result in damage to property and conditions dangerous for organic life forms. Natural rainfall has a pH of 7, but the further pH levels drop below that number the more potentially harmful it will be for the environment (Eubanks, p.240). The pH level present is directly associated with the presence of sulfate oxides (SOx), nitrate oxides (NOx... ), and the...

Impacts of Acid Rain on Central and Southern China...? Impacts of Acid Rain on Central and Southern China Introduction In the world today, there are many effects of acid rains which impacts negatively on the environment in which the creatures find their life and get their food. The effects of the negative effects on the environment can be felt as a result of chemicals that are disposed without treatment. The substances that cause environmental pollution can take different forms which may be solid, liquid or gaseous and which can be released into the environment directly or indirectly through from an industry. Environmental pollution take the form of air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution among...

Composition of acid rain...Acid Rain Acid rain or acid precipitation is the "atmospheric deposition of acidified rain, snow, sleet, hail, acidifying gases and particles, as well as acidified fog and cloud water" (Likens, 2007). It also refers to precipitation that is much more acidic than natural, unpolluted rain.
Measurement of Acid Rain
"The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution and is determined by the hydrogen ion (H+) content" ("Measuring Acid Rain"). This scale ranges from 0 to 14, moving from...

Acid Rain...HERE YOUR HERE YOUR HERE HERE Acid Rain: Definition, Impact and Potential Solutions Acid rain appears to be one of the most invasive problems facing contemporary society today. Acid rain occurs when, through a variety of industrial pollutants or natural phenomenon, the pH level of rainwater is changed from that of a basic property to one in which measurable changes in acidity are identified. Acid rain creates a wide variety of problems in the United States and abroad, however there are solutions to combat this growing international, ecological problem. This paper identifies the many...

Acid Rain in Hamilton Ontario...s School Topic: Acid Rain in Hamilton Ontario Synopsis The paper aims at studying the issue of acid rain by conducting an in-depth analysis of the environmental hazards attached with the problem. For this reason, Hamilton Ontario can be taken as a reference as this locale has been adversely affected by acid rain. Acid rain is a result of the various emissions in the atmosphere rich in nitrogen and sulphur, which are produced as a result of industrialization. Winds blowing from the US transmit cloud to Ontorio where acid rains are produced, and fuel emissions along with...

The Acid Rain... Acid Rain: Causes and effects on the environment The human race has been progressing significantly since the day of its existence. This progress has helped the human race to improve the quality of life as well as create several more opportunities for further progress. But with every step we take towards a better life, either the human race or the world had to pay a price. With the development of factories, with the development of automobiles, the refrigeration systems have been emitting certain substances in the environment, causing enough damage to prove costly both for the planet earth and its resident. Looking back in the history, the rate of emission of these harmful substances has increased to a very dangerous level leading... to a...

Acid rain...The Month Acid Rain People’s economic activity in the 20th century caused serious pollution of the planet with various waste products. The air basin, water, and soil in the areas of large industrial centers often contain toxic substances that significantly exceed the permissible level. In the recent decades, environmental contamination and the breakouts of related diseases have become more common. To describe this phenomenon, experts and media began to use the term “environmental crisis” (Mangun and Henning xii). The global environmental crisis is the result of the complex industrial and agricultural activities of modern civilization. It appears to change the characteristics of the environment on a...

Acid Rain Part I...Acid Rain in Lewistown Pennsylvania al Affiliation) Hypothesis: The rain that is experienced in Lewistown Pennsylvania ishighly acidic rainfall.
Proof:
A report that was produced by the Natural Resources Defense Council stated that the weather monitoring station that was located in the central part of Pennsylvania had recorded the highest amount of acidity found in the rain experienced. The particular information had been gathered in 131 different sites across the 46 states that make up the United States of America. In response to the causative agent of the acidic rain, it is lobbied that Pennsylvania has...

Homework: Acid Rain Article...Acid Rain Article There has been an increase in the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere thanks to industrial activities and many other human activities that lead to emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. When it rains there is occurrence of acidic rain which is cause by the formation of carbonic acid. There has been an increasing trend from the year 1700 to the year 2007 and further increases are expected in the year 2007.
According to Fig 1, the rate at which the PH of rainwater is decreasing is directly proportional to the increase in the volume of CO2 in the atmosphere. In fact is can be noticed that the rate at which the content of CO2...

Acid rain...ACID RAIN Acid Rain Acid rain is defined by Kumar as a term used to de "Any precipitation which has a value less than 5.6,the PH of uncontaminated water".1 In most cases, Kumar notes that acid rain falls under a PH of between 5.6 and 3.5.2 It is important to note that evidence of acidic precipitation appears after a few days and long distances from the origin.
Acid rain can be prevented through a number of ways in future. According to Casper, acid rain can be prevented in future is by switching to sources of energy that...
