  • Chapter 6 ACID RAIN

    • CO
    • (carbon dioxide) + H
    • O (water) → CO
    • H

    • Figure 2.- This image illustrates the pathway for acid rain in our
    • environment: (1) Emissions of SO
    • and NOx are released into
    • the air, where (2) the pollutants are transformed into acid
    • particles that may be transported long distances. (3) These acid
    • particles then fall to the earth as wet and dry deposition (dust,
    • rain, snow, etc.) and (4) may cause harmful effects on soil,
    • forests, streams, and lakes. Source: United States
