Sulphuric acid.<\/p>\n<p>Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has a high level of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The main cause of acid rain is the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These gases react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the Earth as acid rain.<\/p>\n<p>Acid rain can damage vegetation in a number of ways. It can leach essential minerals from the soil, making it difficult for plants to grow. It can also damage the leaves of plants, making them more susceptible to disease and pests. In severe cases, acid rain can kill entire forests.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to damaging vegetation, acid rain can also harm aquatic animals. It can lower the pH of lakes and streams, making it difficult for fish and other aquatic organisms to survive. It can also damage the eggs and larvae of fish, making it difficult for them to reproduce.<\/p>\n<p>Acid rain can also damage infrastructure. It can corrode metals, such as steel and iron, making them weaker and more likely to fail.
