... everything around that body of water, including the trees, bushes and the grass around the surface of the water. Some scientists also believe that Acid Rain does damage to stone buildings and stone statues. ùÞ You Will Need: Paper cups Measuring glass pH paper Bicycle 1.) Go to some lakes, ponds, beaches around the place you live, collect some water sample from different ... ...
... species in that lake disappear. The chart shows the effects of acidity on various freshwater animals. The destruction doesn't end only with fish. Insects, invertebrates, snails, clams, plankton, mayflies and stone flies are either killed or driven away. Plant life is also greatly reduced (Ostmann 50). Even the decomposition of dead plants in lakes is affected by the acid in the ... ...
... areas that receive a lot of acid rain. This figure is staggering, and yet, metal is not the only material damaged by acid rain. Houses and buildings made of brick and stone are affected as well. Acid rain can dissolve the mortar, which is used in cement to hold bricks together. When the mortar is worn away, the bricks crumble more easily ... ...

... . "At pH levels below 4.0 all vertebrates, most invertebrates, and many microorganisms are destroyed"(1). It is not just water and animals that acid rain destroys. Acid rain also destroys metals and stone building materials. These reactions between water and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides go as follows: SO2(g) + 2H2O(l) 2H+(aq) + SO43-(aq) + H2(g) SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3 2NOX(g) + H20(l) 2H+ + 2NO3- The ... ...
... it. Acid rain has been associated with the damage to manmade structures. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) mixed with water, causing acid rain, results in sulfuric acid, a potent chemical that can dissolve stone." Acid rain is linked with the deterioration of exposed surfaces of building, monuments and statues. "Buildings that have braved decades are being eaten away by acid rain." Acid rain causes ... ...
... may not be repairable or reversible. On some croplands, tomatoes grow to only half their full weight ("Acid Rain Lesson Plan", 2002). Naturally it rains on cities too, eating away stone monuments and concrete structures, and corroding the pipes that channel the water away to the lakes. Paint jobs are frequent due to the acid in the rain, speeding up the ... ...
... of many plants and underwater life in thousands of lakes and streams around the world. It strips forest soils of nutrients and damages farm crops. Acid rain can also corrode stone buildings, bridges, and priceless monuments. Acid rain can also be harmful to humans because acid rain kills the crops and fish we eat, ruins homes, and the acid can release ... ...
... the impact of acid rain on forest soils. There are also economic implications to acid rain, acidic particles are known to contribute to the corrosion of metals and deterioration of stone buildings and paint on cars. "The corrosion seriously depreciates the value of buildings and goods which are a value to society e.g. old buildings which have to be maintained more due to ... ...
... particles formed from the pollutants in acid rain. Acid rain has destroyed plant and animal life in lakes, damaged forests and crops, and caused extensive erosion of structures built of stone. Sulfur and nitrogen oxides (often abbreviated SOx and NOx, respectively) are common by-products of fossil-fuel combustion. SOx forms from sulfur impurities in fuels, especially coal and some petroleum ... ...
... clearly we can see through the air, an effect called visibility reduction. Acid rain is known to contribute to the corrosion of metals and to the deterioration and soiling of stone and paint on buildings, statues, and other structures of cultural significance. The damage inflicted on cultural objects is especially costly since a loss of detail caused by the destructive potential of ... ...
... posing a potential threat to the future forest productivity. There are also economic implications to acid rain, acidic particles are known to contribute to the corrosion of metals and deterioration of stone buildings and paint on cars. The corrosion seriously depreciates the value of buildings and goods which are a value to society e.g. old buildings which have to be maintained more due to ... ...
... not reversible. Acid rain effects many crops too. Tomatoes only grow half of what they"re supposed to be, and the leaves from radishes wither. When it rains in cities, stone monuments and concrete statues start to corrode. The paintjobs in cars are also effected. Pollution in the atmosphere speeds up the corrosion process. Visibility has been drasticly effected along the ... ...
