Extractions: WHAT ARE ACIDS? There are many different kinds of acids. The proteins in our food, and in our bodies, are made up of amino acids. Motor cars start because of the sulphuric acid in their batteries. Swimming pools need hydrochloric acid, commonly known as `pool acid'. Some acids are weak, e.g acetic acid (vinegar) and lemon juice. They are not harmful and are used in preparing our food. Othershowever, such as sulphuric acid (battery acid) are strong and can burn holes in our clothes. WHAT SHOULD RAIN BE LIKE? The only place on earth where pure water is found is in a laboratory. Rain water always contains small amounts of impurities. These impurities come from dust particles or are absorbed from the gases in the air. If pure water is exposed to the air it absorbs carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid and becomes slightly acidic, dropping from pH 7 i.e. neutral, to pH 5,6. Even in remote, unpopulated areas rain can reach a pH of 4,5. However, a pH of less than 4,5 in rain is almost certainly caused by pollution. HOW ACID RAIN IS FORMED Acid rain is caused by the release of the gases SO2 (sulphur dioxide) and NOX (nitrous oxides). The main sources of SO2 in South Africa are coal-fired power stations and metal working industries. The main sources of NOX emissions are vehicles and fuel combustion.
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

Extractions: 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.

Where does that terrible rotten egg smell come from in our school yard every Spring? The answer to these questions is simple; acid rain is responsible for many of the serious environmental problems facing us today. While the answer may be simple, solving the acid rain problem is not. The Task A local citizens' group has hired you, and a group of other researchers, to investigate acid rain. You will take on the role of either a Chemist, Ecologist, Health Scientist, or Economist and examine the issue from that perspective. Working within this team, you will create a web site detailing the problems caused by acid rain and recommending ways that these problems can be alleviated. Within your group, decide who is going to assume the following roles. Use the questions appearing under each role to assist you in your research. While you are responsible for completing your section of the report, you will also be responsible for drawing up a series of recommendations, along with the other members of your team, on how to combat this serious issue.

Extractions: Acid rain is a very big problem in our world today. Acid rain is made up of harmful chemicals like sulfur and nitrogen. Those chemicals come from the black smoke the factories let out of their large smoke stacks. Then the smoke gets mixed up in the water cycle and creates acid rain. To see how acidic our rain, snow or even hail is, we use a ph scale. Ph is a measure that we use to determine how acidic a substance is. Did you know 70% of acid rain is sulfur dioxide?
National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP)
The US National Atmospheric Deposition Program operates an acid rain observing network that is used to monitor the chemistry of precipitation for geographical and temporal longterm trends. Quality assured precipitation chemistry data (including acidity) and analyzed maps are available for viewing and downloading.

http://www.sciencemaster.com/jump/earth/acid_rain.php

Extractions: 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.

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.

It includes stands of dying trees, lakes uninhabitable by fish, and weathered and damaged historic architecture. While acid rain has not caused such severe problems in Wisconsin as in the places mentioned above, it is still an air pollution issue that generates concern among the state's residents. Frequently asked questions are: How bad is the problem in the state? What are the causes? What is being done to protect Wisconsin's resources? What is acid rain? And where does it come from?

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: It was two years ago that I first came across this band. 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.

http://www.plugged-in.org/what_is_acid_rain.html

Extractions: 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.
