| | Synopsis
|
Some atmospheric pollutants increase the acidity of rain. These
gases emitted by motor vehicles and industry form acids when combined
with the water vapor in clouds. Winds transport these acids far from
the source and fall as acid rain or snow which has harmful effects.
Acid precipitation harms plants, impoverishes the soil and
infiltrates the water table acidifying lakes and harming animal life
in them. In 1974 rain as acid as lemon juice fell in Scotland.
