Acid Rain Acid Rain discusses what acid rain is, the harmful pollutants that cause acid rain, and what we can do to protect our environment from acid rain.
This is rain which has turned acidic because of the presence of sulfur or nitrogen oxides (both created from burning coal and other fossil fuels) in the atmosphere. Acid rain is a serious environmental problem; it can kill trees and harm plants and animals in lakes and ponds.
