Consequences:
Acid rain can cause serious damage to ecosystems, including forests, lakes and rivers, leading to the death of plants and animals and the loss of biodiversity.
It can also cause corrosion of buildings, infrastructure and monuments, leading to significant economic costs for repair and maintenance.
People exposed to acid rain can experience health problems, including respiratory problems, skin conditions and eye irritation.
Measures:
Reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides through stricter regulations on industrial and automobile emissions can help reduce acid rain formation.
Promoting renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power can help reduce demand for fossil fuels and reduce pollutant emissions.
Restoring degraded ecosystems by planting trees and repairing damaged waterways can help reduce the damage caused by acid rain.
Addressing the problems of acid rain requires a coordinated effort at the global level to reduce pollutant emissions and protect environmental and human health.
