Acid Rain
When rain is acidic due to pollution
Real World Example
Acid rain became a significant environmental concern in the late 20th century when industrial pollution, particularly from factories and vehicles, led to harmful emissions that turned rain more acidic. This problem was crucial as it damaged forests, lakes, and buildings, harming ecosystems and human structures. In response, governments and scientists focused on reducing pollution by promoting cleaner energy and implementing stricter regulations. Today, acid rain still matters because it can harm crops and aquatic life, affecting food supply and biodiversity. For example, if a community relies on a lake for fishing, acid rain can lower fish populations, impacting both the environment and local livelihoods.
