| erm acid rain has always been in our surroundings, | | | | becomes useless. Also the basic elements of the |
| ever since this phenomenon was discovered. | | | | soil such as the calcium ions become dangerous |
| There has been a lot of debate about the pros | | | | when it comes in contact with an acidic ion. The |
| and cons of the acid rain and here we are going | | | | sensitive species are affected as a result. |
| to discuss them in detail. The acid rain is the form | | | | The point that arises in our minds is that if there |
| of rain that is artificially produced. In its natural | | | | are so many disadvantages of the acid rain, then |
| form, this rain is not acidic but as soon as the | | | | what is the reason for its use? Well the answer |
| contents of this rain combine with the water | | | | to this question is quite simple. The acid rain is |
| molecules, acid is produced. The introduction of | | | | used in those areas where there is rain required |
| the acid is measured by the PH of the water and | | | | and it is not naturally coming. So the scientists |
| when it is less than 7, it shows that water has | | | | have now developed a lot of protective measures |
| become acidic. | | | | to increase the efficiency of the acid rain. There |
| Ever since the industrial revolution, there have | | | | have been a lot of technical solutions that stop |
| been emission of many oxides and the harmful | | | | the emission of oxides. |
| ones have been of nitrogen and sulfur. These | | | | One of its greatest advantages is that it |
| oxides have harmed the environment in a great | | | | decreases the presence of Methane gas by 98 |
| way and they have been the main causes of | | | | percent in the rice fields. This plays a significant |
| environmental pollution. One of the greatest | | | | role as it also helps in making good vinegar. As the |
| disadvantages of the acid rain is that they have a | | | | research is progressing, new benefits of the acid |
| very harmful effect on the aquatic life. Their | | | | rain are trying to be discovered. The methane gas |
| effect had increased to such a large extent that | | | | plays its role in global warming so its removal due |
| a few species were eliminated due to this rain. As | | | | to acid rain can add to its list of benefits. |
| soon as the scientists came to know about this, | | | | The acid rain is said to decrease 30 to 40 percent |
| special protective measures have been taken. | | | | methane in the wetlands so with the passage of |
| The worst part of it is that acid rain is very | | | | time its benefits are getting discovered. So let's |
| dangerous for the soils. As soon as the rain falls, | | | | hope that more and more benefits of this rain |
| there are many ions that are produced and they | | | | appear so that global warming and other problems |
| decrease the effectiveness of the soil. Even the | | | | can be cured in an easier way, and we are not |
| enzymes are affected and as a result the soil | | | | required to make as many sacrifices. |
