Acid rain is a manifestation of a degrading environment. It occurs when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground in the form of rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust. Acid rain has adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters and soils. It kills insect and aquatic life-forms. It also causes paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health. A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power as they produce much less pollution.
