The chemical reactions that sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides undergo in the atmosphere lead to the formation of particles that can reduce the distance we see and the clarity of our scenic vistas These particles account for over 50 percent of the visibility problems in the the eastern United States. In the West, such particles also have been blamed for visibility problems in the Grand Canyon and other national parks.

High levels of sulfur in the air have been proven to cause and aggravate various types of lung disorders. These lung disorders, which affect some people's ability to breathe, have led to both increased disease rates and mortality in sensitive populations, such as young children and elderly. Low levels of acidic compounds and acid mist commonly found in the air in the eastern United States also can pose health problems. EPA has been asked by a panel of outside experts to investigate this issue. See similar questions...

When acid rain passes through soils or falls directly into lakes and streams, it can increase the acidity of the water. Higher acidity can hinder some fish and water plants from reproducing, growing and surviving. In some acidified lakes and streams, entire fish populations have disappeared. For example, many lakes in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and many streams in the Appalachian mountain region have lost trout and other aquatic life due to acid rain. See similar questions...

Emissions from chemical plants, industrial fallout, surface contaminants and other organic and inorganic materials are all components of acid rain. When these elements are deposited on your car's surface in a dry state, they appear as dust. When the dust gets wet, however, from dew or rain or snow, you now have a sulfuric acid mixture on your vehicle's paint finish. If this is left on your car for any period of time, especially if left in direct sunlight, etching may occur on the finish. See similar questions...

Acid Rain can contribute to forest damage by impairing the ability of some types of trees to grow and flight disease. Acid rain also can strip forest soils of essential nutrients, which hurts the productivity of forests. See similar questions...

When rain or snow falls it captures environmental pollutants from factory, automobile and truck exhaust. The sun heats and evaporates the water but leaves behind concentrated acid spots which cannot be removed. Prevention is the key here. Keep a good coat of wax on the finish and wash your car, especially after a rain or snowstorm. See similar questions...

When rain or snow falls it can capture environmental pollutants from factory, automobile and truck exhaust. The water has a low ph reading (acidic). The sun heats and evaporates the water but leaves behind concentrated acid spots which cannot be removed. Prevention is key. Keep a good coat of wax on your vehicles finish and wash it at a professional car wash after it rains or snows. See similar questions...

The wear caused by acid erosion can lead to reduced thickness of enamel and a change in texture, shape and appearance of teeth, which may also cause teeth to become sensitive. See similar questions...

The answer to this question is that most things have a beginning and an end. The rain has to start somewhere and end somewhere. Sometimes it happens to start on one side of the street, and moves away, never getting the other side wet. See similar questions...

Flat roof greenhouses use water porous coverings so the rain will pass through. The rain will tend to drip through in a rectangular grid pattern so the grower will need to determine whether it is better to leave the roof closed during a rain or retract it. See similar questions...

Arthritis and musculoskeletal pain can affect different people in different ways. Everyone gets aches and pains in their muscles and joints from time to time particularly if they take part in strenuous physical activities. Such pain is often short lived. However the different types of arthritis require medical assessment and intervention, the aim of which is to induce remission, relieve pain and improve function. See similar questions...
