82. ENERGY FACTS: ACID RAIN acid rain. acid rain Chemistry. As mentioned earlier, the term acid rain is used to describe a variety of different types of acidic deposition. http://www.iclei.org/EFACTS/ACIDRAIN.HTM

ACID RAIN Acid rain is a term which is used to describe a variety of processes which might more accurately be referred to as acidic deposition. Natural rainfall is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, picked up in the atmosphere. Organisms and ecosystems all over the planet have adapted to the slightly acidic nature of normal rain, and thus it poses no environmental problems. It is an increase in the acidity of rain, caused by human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels, that has turned acid rain into a problem. Highly acidic rain can damage or destroy aquatic life, forests, crops and buildings, as well as posing a threat to human health. The actual term "acid rain" was first used over one hundred years ago by British chemist Robert Angus Smith. At that time, he realized that smoke and fumes from human activities could change the acidity of precipitation. Despite this awareness, acid rain was not considered an environmental concern until the 1950's. Around this time, increased levels of acidity were discovered in lakes in both Canada and Scandinavia. At first, this was looked at as simply an interesting situation, rather than a problem. Since that time, much research has gone into identifying the sources of acid rain and the damage that it causes. As research continued, the situation reached crisis proportions in the late 1970's. By this time, thousands of lakes in Canada and Scandinavia had been declared dead, devoid of life, while emissions of acid gasses continued to increase.

83. What Is Acid Rain And What Causes It? A discussion of the causes and effects of acid rain, and possible policy solutions. http://www.policyalmanac.org/environment/archive/acid_rain.shtml

Almanac of Policy Issues Home Search Archive Adapted from "Acid Rain", Environmental Protection Agency August 6th, 2002 What is Acid Rain and What Causes It? "Acid rain" is a broad term used to describe several ways that acids fall out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition, which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. As this acidic water flows over and through the ground, it affects a variety of plants and animals. The strength of the effects depend on many factors, including how acidic the water is, the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved, and the types of fish, trees, and other living things that rely on the water. Dry deposition refers to acidic gases and particles. About half of the acidity in the atmosphere falls back to earth through dry deposition. The wind blows these acidic particles and gases onto buildings, cars, homes, and trees. Dry deposited gases and particles can also be washed from trees and other surfaces by rainstorms. When that happens, the runoff water adds those acids to the acid rain, making the combination more acidic than the falling rain alone. Prevailing winds blow the compounds that cause both wet and dry acid deposition across state and national borders, and sometimes over hundreds of miles. Scientists discovered, and have confirmed, that sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the primary causes of acid rain. In the US, About 2/3 of all SO2 and 1/4 of all NOx comes from electric power generation that relies on burning fossil fuels like coal.

Homework Helper Jumpstart Science Topics Learning Galleries Today is JumpStart - Earth Science Environmental Effects of Acid Rain Air Pollution Creates Acid Rain Scientists have discovered that air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels is the major cause of acid rain. Acidic deposition, or acid rain as it is commonly known, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. This mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions. These compounds then fall to the earth in either wet form (such as rain, snow, and fog or dry form (such as gas and particles). About half of the acidity in the atmosphere falls back to earth through dry deposition as gases and dry particles. The wind blows these acidic particles and gases onto buildings, cars, homes, and trees. In some instances, these gases and particles can eat away the things on which they settle. Dry deposited gases and particles are sometimes washed from trees and other surfaces by rainstorms. When that happens, the runoff water adds those acids to the acid rain, making the combination more acidic than the falling rain alone. The combination of acid rain plus dry deposited acid is called acid deposition. Prevailing winds transport the compounds, sometimes hundreds of miles, across state and national borders. Electric utility plants account or about 70 percent of annual SO2 emissions and 30 percent of NOx emissions in the United States. Mobile sources (tranportation) also contribute significantly to NOx emissions. Overall, over 20 million tons of SO2 and NOx are emitted into the atmosphere each year.

E-Resources Acid Rain "Acid rain" is a general name for many phenomena including acid fog, acid sleet, and acid snow. Although we associate the acid threat with rainy days, acid deposition occurs all the time, even on sunny days. Something is acidic if it has a low pH. The pH of a liquid is measured on a scale which ranges from to 14 with 7.0 being neutral. Anything with a pH value lower than 7.0 is acidic, and anything higher than 7.0 is basic. Particles of sulphur and nitrogen emitted by cars, coal-fired generators, and non-ferrous smelters can be carried great distances and deposited anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand kilometers from their source area. Even when sulphur and nitrogen particles fall to the surface as dry deposition they combine with water at the earth's surface or in the ground to produce the same effects as wet deposition. Acid rain has become a grave problem. North America and Europe are the areas with the most problematic and noticeable overall acid precipitation levels. They both receive precipitation with pH as low as 4.7. Acid deposition endangers forests, lakes and agriculture. No single storm or event can cause all this remarkable damage. Rather, the effects of acid rain occur as a slow and continuous process.

Acid rain's effect on plants and wildlife This article contains the effect of acid rain on plants and wildlife. Almost everybody has heard about acid rain and knows that it is something bad. But what exactly is it? What are its effects on plants, animals, human beings, and what can be done to solve this problem? The term acid rain does not convey the true nature of the problem and therefore scientists use the term "acid depositions". This is because the acid which has formed due to pollution may return to the earth as a solid or a gas and not just as rain. Depending upon the climatic conditions it could also come down as rain, fog, or snow, and in the wet form it is known as "acid precipitation". bodyOffer(18157) Sources Certain industries, as well as emissions from vehicles give rise to increase of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the air. These emissions change into sulphates and nitrates under the influence of sunlight and moisture, and get converted into sulphuric acid and nitric acid, which come down as acid rain. Coal generally contains between 2 - 3 % sulphur, and when it is burned, this sulphur is released into the atmosphere. Electric companies and other industries which burn coal cause a lot of emission of sulphur dioxide. Other industries which process raw ore containing sulphides in order to obtain copper, zinc, or nickel also cause an increase in sulphur dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Most of us have heard about Acid Rain, but do we really know exactly what Acid Rain is? It is certainly not a rainfall of acid, or is it? And...what is acid? How does it get into our atmosphere to become acid rain? What are Acids and What are Bases? Many substances can be described as either being an acid (acidic) or being a base (basic) . These two words are used to describe the physical property of a substance just as we, for example, describe how water feels. Water can be hot or cold, somewhere in between, or a balance of the two called 'just right'. Substances can also be either acidic or basic, somewhere in between, or a balance of the two called neutral. We Clean the House and Cook our Meals with Acids and Bases! Quite a few household items are an acid or base. Some are very familiar as cleaning and cooking substances! Some we even eat. Pure water, for example, is neutral but when certain chemicals mix with water, the mixture can become either an acid or a base. Chemicals that are very basic or very acidic can be dangerous. These chemicals can cause damage to metals and plastics. They can create poisonous gases. And, if not handled properly they can cause severe burns. Home All About Plugged-In!

I admit, when I first interviewed them, I really didn't know what they sounded like, or who they were; I did it for a friend who loves the band. After seeing LBC play for the first time that night, I was an instant fan. Their music differs from most of the sugarcoated pop and rock that we hear on the radio, or from most bands for that matter. With their eclectic sound, you can't help but to have a good time and be happy when listening to their music. Their new album, Commitment was released on October 21, 2003. With a more polished sound, and great tunes all the same, the boys show they are ready to take on the world. This is one band that you'll definitely come to love.

Acid Rain Simulation Louie Beuschlein YES! I'd like to download the original onto Microsoft Word 6.0 or higher. Introduction : This is a two day unit plan that incorporates some decision-making ideas from statistics into the science classroom. It is intended for intermediate level science students (about high school freshman age) and beyond. No previous experience with statistical analysis is required. The NCTM Statistics Standard is taken into account in this lesson by having students make use of sampling to back up a claim and by having students design (with teacher assistance) a statistical experiment to study a problem. Acid Rain Lab : Acid rain is literally acid in rain water. It is a weak acid (sulfuric and nitric) but strong enough to damage buildings and statues and harm lakes, forests, and crops. The purpose of this lab is to investigate the damaging effects of acid rain on plants. In particular, students will determine whether and/or to what extent acid rain affects the germination rate of turnip seeds. The germination rates of seeds placed in an acid rain solution will be compared with that of the controlseeds placed in distilled water. Statistical methods will then be employed to determine whether any differences in germination rates is attributable to the acid rain or if it is reasonable to explain any differences as coincidences. The acid rain solution should be a mixture of dilute sulfuric and nitric acids (about pH 4). Students, working in groups of no more than four, should sandwich exactly 25 turnip seeds (or some other type of seed) between two layers of paper toweling saturated in acid rain solution. (There should be no pools of solution.) Each group should also prepare a control Petri dish in which distilled water is used in place of the acid rain solution. The Petri dishes should then be wrapped in aluminum foil to keep them in darkness and allowed to remain undisturbed (preferably for a weekend).
