Title: Acid Rain PDF
Url: https://esa21.kennesaw.edu/activities/atmosphere/atms_acidrain.pdf
Creator: Fox, Chris
Publisher: Kennesaw State University
Description: Due to the presence of dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide, rainfall is naturally acidic. The release of other gases and chemicals such as sulfur dioxide during the combustion of coal and oil can cause rainfall to become even more acidic, sometimes to the point of toxicity. In this activity, students will measure the pH of local rainfall to see what effect these gases have in their region. They will also check an online resource to see how the releases of acid rain-causing chemicals have varied over the past 20 years, and answer questions about the information they uncover.
