Acid Rain
Now what’s this you might have heard about winter rains, sun rain or storms, now what’s an acid rain, well I can assure you it’s the one rain that you would never want to be outside splashing around, because it literally pours acid from the clouds at such times. Pollutants in the atmosphere have almost affected everything that lives on the face of the planet and now they are altering nature too. Acid rains are mainly caused by some really noxious chemicals like sulphur, phosphorous, chlorine and carbon getting deposited in the clouds that carry the vaporized water molecules by means of smoke.
Natural rain is normally acidic but a very weak acid which is beneficial to us, but due to the contamination of such chemicals the rain water turns much acidic and pours down as acid rain. Acid rain can have adverse effects depending upon their level of acid content, almost all acid rain affect crop growth, and can even cause crop failure and soil contamination, much stronger acidic rain cause corrosion of unprotected iron an steel structures like bridges, cars, ships etc, and also they cause serious illness to health and affects lungs, and skin. The pollutants are mainly caused by the emissions from factories, mines, industries, vehicle emission etc.
Though many measures have been taken to control such emission, to meet the demands of the nation factories and mines are forced to produce more and in result they contaminate the atmosphere more. If you use a yellow bulb for a whole day you alone contribute to 2 kg of pollutants being deposited in the atmosphere imagine about all other appliances being used and how many are using it, so its really up to our hands to reduce the emissions and save our planet for the benefit of our own selves and all others.
