acid rain: Acid deposition - commonly called acid rain - is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides Although natural sources of sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides do exist, more than 90% of the sulphur and 95% of the nitrogen emissions occurring in eastern North America are of human origin These primary air pollutants arise from the use of coal in the production of electricity, from base-metal smelting, and from fuel combustion in vehicles Once released into the atmosphere, they can be converted chemically into such secondary pollutants as nitric acid and sulfuric acid, both of which dissolve easily in water The resulting acidic water droplets can be carried long distances by prevailing winds, returning to Earth as acid rain, snow, or fog
acid rain: Air pollution produced when acid chemicals are incorporated into rain, snow, fog or mist The "acid" in acid rain comes from sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, products of burning coal and other fuels and from certain industrial processes The sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are related to two strong acids: sulfuric acid and nitric acid When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released from power plants and other sources, winds blow them far from their source If the acid chemicals in the air are blown into areas where the weather is wet, the acids can fall to Earth in the rain, snow, fog, or mist In areas where the weather is dry, the acid chemicals may become incorporated into dusts or smokes Acid rain can damage the environment, human health, and property

acid rain: Acid rain occurs when air pollutants, mostly sulfur dioxide from coal burning power plants, and nitrogen oxide coming from cars and trucks as well as power plants and industrial smokestacks, mix with rain As this rain falls to earth, it can cause the surface destruction of cars and buildings can severely pollute lakes and forests
acid rain: Acid rain is rain polluted by acid that has been released into the atmosphere from factories and other industrial processes. Acid rain is harmful to the environment. Acid precipitation falling as rain. rain that contains harmful acid which can damage the environment and is caused by chemicals in the air, for example from cars or factories. Any precipitation, including snow, that contains a heavy concentration of sulfuric and nitric acids. This form of pollution is a serious environmental problem in the large urban and industrial areas of North America, Europe, and Asia. Automobiles, certain industrial operations, and electric power plants that burn fossil fuels emit the gases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere, where they combine with water vapour in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids. The highly acidic precipitation from these clouds may contaminate lakes and streams, damaging fish and other aquatic species; damage vegetation, including agricultural crops and trees; and corrode the outsides of buildings and other structures (historic monuments are especially vulnerable). Though usually most severe around large urban and industrial areas, acid precipitation may also occur at great distances from the source of the pollutants

acid rain: the precipitation of dilute solutions of strong mineral acids, formed by the mixing in the atmosphere of various industrial pollutants -- primarily sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides -- with naturally occurring oxygen and water vapor
acid rain: Rainfall with a pH of less than 7 0 One of the principle sources is the combining of rain (H2O) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrous oxides (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions which are byproducts of the combustion of fossil fuels These oxides react with the water vapor to form sulfuric (H2SO4), nitric (HNO3), and carbonic acids (H2CO3) Long-term deposition of these acids is linked to adverse effects on aquatic organisms and plant life in areas with poor neutralizing (buffering) capacity Also see Acid Deposition

acid rain: an unnatural type of rain which occurs when sulfur and nitrogen compounds combine with raindrops to create nitric and sulphuric acids This causes great damage to the environment and to man-made structures, especially concrete It is common in the northeastern portion of North America, as the prevailing westerly winds carry pollution from the American midwest to the northestern United States and the lower portions of Canada It also occurs downwind of many other industrialized areas of the world
acid rain: Rain containing acidic substances that causes damage to plant life, lakes and aquatic life, crops, buildings and human health Rain becomes acidified when it absorbs sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide particles emitted by fossil-fuelled sources such as power plants To respond to increasingly tough limits on emissions since 1990, U S companies in northeastern states operate a successful system of trading sulphur and nitrogen oxides between emitters The system has delivered large emissions reductions for a fraction of the originally predicted cost and has reduced the intensity of acid rainfall in the region Allowances See permits

acid-base theory: Any of several theories that give rise to alternative definitions of acids and bases. The original theory was based on Svante Arrhenius's electrolytic theory of solutions and involved the dissociation of water into hydrogen and hydroxide ions. To explain the behaviour of a chemical, particularly if water is not present, two other theories were developed. The most widely accepted and useful is the Brønsted-Lowry definition (1923): An acid is a chemical that tends to lose a proton (H^+), and a base is a chemical that tends to gain a proton. Another is the Lewis definition (also 1923): An acid (see electrophile) is a chemical that can accept an electron pair from a base (see nucleophile), which they share to form a covalent bond. The three theories have superficial similarities but subtle and important differences for certain applications
