    Om Gharate, Manasvi Gawale and Dibyas Dubey of Government Polytechnic Vikramgad completed a micro-project on acid rain for their EST course. Their project defined acid rain as rain with a pH lower than 5.6 due to dissolved gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. It identified the main causes of acid rain as the burning of fossil fuels from industry and vehicles. The project proposed preventing acid rain through reducing fossil fuel use, promoting active transportation, and installing catalytic converters to limit harmful gas emissions.

    What Is Acid Rain?

    Increasing acidity in natural waters and soil is


    becoming a problem all over the world, particularly in
    North East America, North West Europe and India.
    Acid rain has become an invisible threat present in
    rivers, lakes and forests of UK, USSR, Canada and
    Germany.
    Generally, rain water gets acidic because CO2, SO2 and
    NO2 present in the atmosphere get dissolved in it
    forming carbonic acid (H2CO3), sulphuric acid (H2SO4)
    and nitric acid (HNO3) respectively. Due to presence of
    these acids the pH of the rain water lowered to a value
    of 2.4 and this type of raining of lower pH is called
    acid rain. A value of pH below 5.6 denotes acid rain.
    The harmful rain was discovered by an English
    scientist, Robert Angus Smith who came up with the
    term Acid Rain’ in 1872, when he saw corrosion on
    the surfaces of buildings and plants because of rain.
    Causes Of Acid Rain

    Acid rain is a form of pollution that can cause of lot of


    damage to natural ecosystems, to man-made objects,
    as well can harm to human health.
    Human activity is the main cause of acid rain.
    Burning of fossil fuels is the primary source of these
    gases. With increase in industrialization and number
    of vehicles running on the roads, fumes that contain
    these gases are being added to the atmosphere at such
    a rate that the excess of these gases can’t be
    neutralized by natural processes.
    Rapid industrialization is the main cause of increase
    in the incidence of acid rain and precipitation with
    low pH value is common in industrialized nations.
    However, an amusing acid rain fact is, that it need not
    occur at the same place from where the gases that
    form acid rain, are released.
    Prevention of Acid Rain

    The numbers of possible solutions for acid rain that


    are available to us are aplenty. What matters more is
    to consciously enforce these solutions to stop acid rain
    and to do soon a wide scale. People all over the world
    must be made aware of the causes and effects of acid
    rain, and they should be thoroughly educated about it.
    Solutions to stop acid rain can only be successful
    through mutual cooperation.
    Acid rain is very serious environmental threat faced
    by our planet today. Millions of people get affected by
    it on a daily basis. Acid rain occurs when high levels of
    sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide enter in the
    atmosphere and start undergoing chemical
    transformation. These harmful gases are absorbed by
    water droplets in the clouds and they fall on the earth
    during rains.
    Methods to Control Acid Rain

    1) Reduce the use of fossil fuels. This would decrease


    the emission of nitrogen and sulphur in the
    environment.
    2) Use cycles or should walk to cover small distances.
    3) Fitting catalytic converters into the exhaust pipes
    of vehicles also reduces the amount of Sulphur
    dioxide produced by the vehicles.

    4) One of the main causes of acid rain is a sudden


    drop in the pH levels of water and that happens
    because of absorption of harmful gases by the
    atmosphere. The best way to restore the pH balance of
    water is to limit the use of items, which run on
    gasoline.
    Conclusion
    In this Project we have got to know about what is acid
    rain and what causes occurs when it happens and also
    the prevention of it that how to prevent it from doing
    some stuffs
    We also got about how to control the Acid Rain from
    Doing some kinda avoidance
