Acid Rain and its damages
Acid rain is a form of air pollution in which acids produced by electric utility plants and other sources fall to earth in distant regions. The acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment due to its corrosive nature. The main causes of acid rain is the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxides from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas,oil, etc. These sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides react with water and other chemicals in the air to form sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and other pollutants which reach high into the atmosphere and eventually return to the ground by way of rain, snow or fog and as invisible "dry" forms.
Acid pollutants also occur as dry particles and gases, which may reach the ground without the help of water. When these "dry" acids are washed from ground surfaces by rain, they add to the acids in the rain itself to produce a still more corrosive solution. The combination of acid rain and dry acids is known as acid deposition.

The damage of acid rain has been widespread in eastern North America and throughout Europe, and i Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.the acid rain leaches nutrients from soils, slows the growth if trees, and makes lake uninhabitable for fish and other wildlife. In cities acid pollutants corrode almost everything they touch, accelerating natural wear and tear in structures such as buildings and statues. Acids combine with other chemicals to form urban smog, which attacks the lungs, causing illness and premature deaths.
