growth. Particles, such as ozone, can block stomata in the leaves and prevent plants from conducting respiration and photosynthesis. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can produce acid rain which can damage the leaves of plants. The reduction of chlorophyll can reduce the photosynthesis rate of plants. Acid rain also acidizes the soil and makes it unsuitable for the growth of plants. Air pollution can also increase the susceptibility of plants and make it more vulnerable to insects and…

Acid rain is any form of precipitation that is extremely acidic, causing harmful effects on the environment. The unusual acidity of acid rain is caused by the high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids in the atmosphere, generated mostly by human activities but also by natural activities. This document will describe the process of acid rain from creation to the effects it has on the environment. Chemical Sources In the formation of acid rain, natural and human-made sources are known to play a…

Introduction Acid rain is a rain that contains a high concentration of pollutants, chiefly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or oil .It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure, when the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, react with the water . The chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues.…

1 Introduction Air pollution is one of the primary environmental hazards to the health of citizens across the world. If countries focus on controlling and decreasing the level of air pollution they can rapidly minimize the risk of various deadly diseases like cardiovascular diseases, various types of cancer, acute and chronic respiratory problems like pneumonia, asthma etc. over short and long-time period. According to the World Health Organization(WHO) in the year 2014, around more than ninety…

Chesapeake Bay’s water quality has been deteriorating over the recent years. Some reasons for the decrease in quality are agriculture, chemical contaminates, and sediment. Agriculture has caused problems for the Bay due to the use of fertilizer. When it rains, the excess nutrients run off into the waterways that lead to the Bay. These excess nutrients include nitrogen and phosphorus. When these nutrients get into the Bay, it causes an algae bloom. The algae bloom blocks any light from getting…
