How does Acid Rain Affect Us ?


Acid rain can cause problems such as asthma, dry cough, eye, nose, and throat irritations.

It can damage your lungs, liver problems and give you diarrhea.
Acid rain isn’t as affective / dangerous but it does damage humans health.
Sulfur dioxide interact in the atmosphere to form sulfate aerosol that travels long distance through the air. The plants absorbs the acid rain and so do animals. We happen to eat these plants and animals and it damages our insides.
Brain damage, kidney problems or more problems the may occur.
The polluted rainfall is harmful to people who had asthma or hard time breathing. This may also lead to the cause of death.
 

Acid Rain And The Earth


What Does Acid Rain Do To The Earth ? 


  • Acid rain weakens the trees by damaging their leaves, and limiting the nutrients available to them or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil.
  • This affects us by making us unable to maintain paper and grow good crops
  • When the lakes become acidic, it gets very dangerous for fishes and other species. Acid in the water causes mucus goes in their gills, which make them not observe oxygen causing them to suffocate.
  • Acidic water affects us because the drinking water may contain lead or some levels of arsenic and it’s dangerous
  • The aquatic in our area is being affected and the danger signs of acid rain are dead animals, fish floating around, the water will be nasty and dirty looking, stuff that’s not usual.
