The major reason why acid rains forms are due to our polluted environment caused by burning coals, oils and others materials that produces excessive form of smoke. We have an endless list of sources for such pollutions that can cause a chemical reaction to produce acid rains. Common chemical compounds are the combination of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
Acid rains is also the current major problem for the loss of huge number of fishes in many lakes around the world. Based on the Paleonecological research that has been conducted, it has been found out that more lakes are becoming acidic which are inappropriate for aquatic animals to live in. In a few more years to come, it is for sure that the prices of fishes on the market will greatly increase.
We are to be blamed for the occurrences of acid rains. With the fast evolving pace of our technology, there are plenty of competing companies for providing the best technological product of our time. However, most people are not aware that to mass-produce an item it requires power plants and industrial facilities which are the major contributors of air pollution.
Cars or any other form of transportation that requires gas or oil to run are also major contributors to air pollution. With the huge number of vehicles running around the world, you can imagine how much pollution will be accumulated into the atmosphere.
Burning coals and woods also contributes as a major factor of air pollution. Almost every causes of pollution are contributed by us humans. Thus, prevention can only be done by the one responsible.
Since we created acid rain out from carelessly polluting our environment, we are to reap the effect in various forms of risk and dangers. Here are the following major effects of acid rain into our environment:
Aquatic Creatures
It has already been mentioned above that all aquatic creatures are not capable of living under acidic water. The acid content from the water can clog the fish's gills which alter the blood chemistry leading into death. If this continues until to the point that almost every lakes or bodies of water around the world has been contaminated with acid then expect that there will be no fishes to be serve on your dining table.
Our source of water-supply will also be affected. Soon you might not be aware that you are drinking a cup of water contaminated with the deadly acid contents.
Forest Dies
In some countries that often experience acid rains, the forest are now badly damaged. Researchers has found out that acid precipitation drains the nutrients out from the soil. As a result, most trees will either decreased in growth or simply wither and dies .
Damages
With the acidic contents of the acid rain, it is capable of damaging almost any kind of materials. Simply think of every objects that are being exposed outside under the acid rain.
Dangers to Us
This is the most crucial part that an acid rain can bring into our healthy life. If you are exposed under an unexpected acid rain event then you have a very serious health condition. A high concentration of sulfate and nitrate substance might had entered your cardiovascular and respiratory system which can lead into various forms of diseases or even death.
Some fishes that are caught can be contaminated with the acidic content of the acid rain. Most likely, these contents are mercury and cadmium absorbed by the acid from various surrounding such as soil deposits. These chemical substance tends to accumulated inside the body tissues of the fish or any other aquatic animals. Thus, this makes them toxic when eaten by other animals or humans.
Water supplies particularly old pipes can be easily penetrated by the powerful acidic content of the acid rain. Drinking a cup of water contaminated with acid rain posses the most serious threat than any of those that has already been mentioned above.
If the next future generation of our time will ask us, 'How does acid rain form?'. Will you be proud enough to say the we did created this damaging force of nature?
