2024年5月7日 · Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms.

Acid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH).

2023年2月3日 · Acid rain, also called acid deposition, is a broad term for any form of precipitation with high concentrations of sulfuric and nitric acids. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), deposition can be wet such as in rain, …

Acid rain, precipitation possessing a pH of about 5.2 or below mainly produced from the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (the combination of NO and NO2). Acid deposition can reduce the pH of surface waters, lower biodiversity, and increase the susceptibility of plants to disease and other stressors.

2019年2月28日 · Acid rain describes any form of precipitation that contains high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. It can also occur in the form of snow, fog, and tiny bits of dry...

2022年3月16日 · Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation that contains acidic components, such as sulfuric acid or nitric acid. The precipitation is not...

2024年5月7日 · Overview of the effects of acid rain on ecosystems, plant life, wildlife and man-made structures.

2024年2月19日 · Acid rain is caused by human emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, reacting with atmospheric moisture to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which then fall as precipitation to Earth. Read about acid rain causes, effects, types of acid rain, and prevention in detail here.

2025年1月16日 · The causes of acid rain, how acid rain affects our environment and our health, and what regulatory actions have been put in place to reduce the pollutants that cause acid rain.

Acid rain is made up of highly acidic water droplets due to air emissions, most specifically the disproportionate levels of sulphur and nitrogen emitted by vehicles and manufacturing processes. It is often called acid rain as this concept contains many types of acidic precipitation.
