Acid rain which can also be called as acid precipitation or acid deposition is a type of precipitation that has a PH of about 5.2 or below which is unusually acidic for precipitation. Acid rain can come in many forms such as snow, rain, fog, hail and dust. As long as it contains unnatural amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids it can be considered as acid rain. Based on the PH value from 1 to 14, 7 is the neutral. A number below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases with 1 being
problems and effects encountered. For example, when the stomach has low acidity, one may suffer from acidosis. Highly acidic substances can also cause damage to both living and non living things. One of these problems is acid rain.
emitted directly to the atmosphere, secondary pollutants are a combination of gases with oxygen and sunlight. The secondary pollutants can be classified into different forms of pollutants. The examples includes: Ozone, acid rain, photochemical smog, nitrogen dioxide, sulphuric acid, these are discussed in the essay. The essay made use of material in the Open Educational Resources (OERs). The OERs are defined as any educational material found in the public domain which allows any use to freely copy
This graph shows that at the end of the experiment the neutral solution (pH 7) was the one with the most duckweed fronds left and the lower the pH gets, the less duckweed survives. Acidity has an effect on the rate of photosynthesis because the enzymes required in the process of photosynthesis only function properly at a pH of between 6 and 8 (Egle & Brown, 2005). All the solutions in the experiment that had a pH of less than 6 did not allow the duckweed to survive or to be in a good condition,
How ph affects plants Did you know ph affects everything we do as humans. The same goes for plants and animals it affects them to. Ph is the amount of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. This can be measured in a scale from 1 to 14. With 1 being very acidic and 7 being neutral and 14 being a base. Have you ever wondered how a plant is affected by ph,well I have. In a plant there no ph is the same. There is a ph for soil, all the systems in a plant's body. The Normal ph for the plants
Cause and Effect of Water Pollution in India Throughout human history, the humans have accomplished many different ways or techniques to make their life luxurious. With the help of science and technology the humans have successfully achieved in increasing food production, product marketing, and intentions of new technology. Having all these benefits are quite pleasing, but there is an old saying that with benefits there is always a downfall. The downfall in these advances is that the human are polluting
and environmental pollution, it equally contributes to air pollution as machines are used of the refinery to refine the crude part of it. THE EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION IN HUMAN HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT. As we have been noted above that air pollution has an adverse effects to both human and environment, the following explained bellow are the identified effects:- Air pollution can harm human beings when it accumulates in the air in high enough concentrations. People who are exposed to high enough levels
anthropogenic activities and may cause adverse effects on human health and the environment. Increase combustion of fossil fuels in the last century is responsible for the progressive change in the atmospheric composition. The main sources of air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and ozone differ in their chemical composition, emission and ability to diffuse in long or short distances. The effects of air pollution on human health and environment
Weathering Virtual Lab Purpose: To explore the effects of the two different kinds of weathering, which are mechanical and chemical Hypothesis: If I run investigate different effects, then I will be able to correctly identify what type of weathering it is that I am observing. Materials used: virtual lab with four different scenes that exhibit either mechanical or chemical weathering Results: Scene Number Before Weathering Weathering Effect After Weathering Scene 1 Limestone with small cave
What is Air pollution? Air pollution is when dust particles, gases fumes (smoke) or odours are let out into the atmosphere, which is very harmful to humans, animals and plants. There are two types of pollutants: Primary pollutants are gases that are released into the air to make the air unclean. They include carbon monoxide from cars exhaust and sulphur dioxide from the combustion of coal. Secondary pollutants is when pollutants in the air chemically react and they form more dangerous
