Acid rain is one of the biggest environmental problems today. It has many long-term effects, like
damage to trees and buildings. It can lead to human’s skin and breathing problems such as asthma or
chronic bronchitis. It can also cause animals to become extinct.
Acid rain is mainly caused by air pollution from cars and factories. These machines burn fuel for
energy. When fuel burns, it produces smoke and invisible gases that mix with clouds. These dark clouds
rain harmful chemicals onto the earth. Although the rain is not acidic enough to burn skin, it coats tree
leaves, buildings, and the ground with toxic water.
Acid rain has actually been around since the mid-1800s. It was discovered by Robert Angus
Smith. Smith found a relationship between acid rain and air pollution. However, scientists did not start
studying acid rain seriously until the 1950s.
Acid rain can be prevented by burning less dangerous fuels. Factories have also experimented
with special filters that remove harmful chemicals from the smoke. These are good solutions, but
governments have to act fast. If they wait, the damage may be unstoppable.
