Acid Rain
Acid rain is a form of air pollution. It is much more acidic than normal rain for a number of reasons. It is formed when sulfur oxides from coal burning and nitrogen oxides mix with water in the air. Those acidic materials are then evaporated and eventually rain down again. The acid rain that comes down can damage buildings and even statues. It also makes lakes and ponds acidic and kills of the lifeforms that thrive in that water. As you can see, acid rain is a very dangerous and deadly air pollutant.

well Keegan, what can i say, it was a very interesting piece of info. our pollutions are somewhat different. mine occurs from the burning of coal and fossil fuels. My type of pollution was London type smog. The peeps in london arnt polluting as much so thats good. another difference is well my smog is more like a haze and fog where yours is rain and yours can damage wild life and architectures mine can be harmful to a persons health and of course the ozone layer
hey....Keegan?! there are a lot of similarities and differences between our blogs? first they are similar because they both effect our economy
