Acid Rain

Acid rain Fossil fuels are an important part of today's society. Along with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have become a very important source of our daily lives. Without fossil fuels, our lives will be tough - we can not possess cars, electricity, heat, and many other things we use everyday. Fossil fuels are good for us, but fossil fuels have a negative effect. Fossil fuels cause many environmental problems. One of the most dangerous problems caused by fossil fuels is acid rain.

Acid rain generally affects the chemical properties of soil, plant activity and surface water's acidity. In this sense, this means acid rain has a big impact on the environment. Increasing acid rain continues to affect the health of humans and plants, the chemical composition of the soil, and most importantly the survival of aquatic life. The higher the acid concentration, the more severe the result will be. Consistent high levels of acid rain can significantly reduce the life activity of plants and the continuity of aquatic life. The majority of the impact depends on the presence of acidic deposits in the atmosphere and the acidity of various forms of precipitation.

Acid rain has a serious effect on soil chemistry and biology. It is often destroyed or changed due to the influence of soil chemical constituents such as acid rain, soil microorganism, biological activity, soil pH and so on. The soil should maintain optimum pH to allow biological activity to prosper. Therefore, every time acid rain penetrates the soil, the optimum pH changes, thereby reversing chemical and biological activity. Therefore, sensitive soil microorganisms that can not adapt to pH change are killed and soil microbial enzymes are denatured. Higher acidity also elutes important minerals and nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. As a result, the soil loses its quality and composition, making it impossible to support plant life and soil microorganisms.
