TRANSCRIPT
Acid Rain kills trees as
leaves die and so
photosynthesis cannot
take place.
Acid rain affects the
soil in forests – trees
cannot adapt to the
changing soil type
and so they die. Eg
The Black Forest
region of Germany
Acid rain falls into
lakes – fish cannot
adapt to the
higher acidic
content and so
they die. Eg lakes
in Sweden
When humans drink water that has
been affected by acid rain, they may
develop problems with their lungs and
breathing as sulphate and nitrate
particles enter their air ways.
Bronchitis and asthma may occur.
Acid rain affects buildings and
statues, especially if they are
made from sedimentary rocks like
limestone or have cement in them.
The acid in the rainwater dissolves
the limestone (revise Limestone
notes) eg. Colosseum in Rome
