Does acid rain affect building materials?
Acid rain and the dry deposition of acidic particles
contribute to the corrosion of metals and the
deterioration of paint and stone. These effects significantly
reduce the societal value of buildings, bridges, cultural objects (such as
statues, monuments, and tombstones), and cars. When it rains, the acid
forms tiny crystals.
Does acid rain have an effect on architecture?
Yes, itititit causes buildings to corrode from leftover acid depositions on structures from a rain. Some of the most famous sculptures that have been effected by acid rain include: Notre Dame Cathedral and the Colosseum.
What does acid rain do to our roads, highways, and bridges?
Acid rain causes the roads, highways, and bridges to become weaker. This causes a serious safety hazard. Bridges could collapse on themselves if they become to weak to support the cars on it. Highways and roads will be to dangerous to go on.
What is the effect of acid rain on things made from metal such as automobiles, trains, buses, and other means of transportation?
When acid rain falls on transportation made out of metal, rust forms as the effect of acid rain. A car that has rust on it is also considered a safety hazard because the car can easily fall apart.
What does the effect of acid cost us in terms of money?
The acid rain does have an effect of money. The more damage done the more money it will cost to repair the damage. The protection can cost a lot too.
What are the economic consequences of acid rain on fisheries, forestry, and agriculture?
The acid found in acid rain can also help to natural damage. Since enzymes can only survive at a certain pH, the sudden increase in acidity will cause them to denature. This will cause important function of organisms to shut down. Thus, businesses that rely on said organisms, such as agriculture, which depends on crops, will lose a considerable amount of crop to acid rain.
