Acid rain refers to rainfall or any form of atmospheric precipitation that contains high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. When it falls onto the earth's surface, it can have damaging effects on the environment. Acid rain can acidify bodies of water, causing harm to aquatic organisms and disrupting entire ecosystems. It can also damage forests by leaching nutrients from the soil and hindering the growth of plants. Additionally, buildings, monuments, and infrastructure can be corroded and eroded by acidic deposition, leading to structural damage.
