Acid Rain....and what are we going to do about it
Acid Rain is caused by pollution containing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and ozone ( SOý, NOx, and Oý ) is released into the air.
These chemicals are absorbed into clouds and results in Acid Presipitation ( Acid Rain, Acid Snow, Acid Hail, Acid Sleet ).
When the chemicals aren’t absorbed into clouds, they can drift for miles and fall to the ground, resulting in Acid Deposition, or dry deposition.
When Acid Rain falls into water it is mixed …showed first 75 words of 393 total…

This is only a temporary solution, as putting salt into the water will not stop the acid from coming, it just neutralizes what is already there.
