EXPLAIN:THE CAUSES OF ACID PRECIPITATION.

  • Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like
  • Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are releases into the air

ACID PRECIPITATION AFFECTS

  • 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.

3 WAYS ACID AFFECTS HUMANS

  • Asthma dry coughs headaches eye nose
  • And throat irritations acid rain can also
  • Damage or irritate our lungs causes liver
  • Problems and give diarrhea acid rain to
  • Older people causes heart problems/disease

WAYS TO SOLVE ACID PRECIPITATION

  • Chlorine and digging out trash and waste in the waters
