This 12 page report discusses the correlation between human habitation and the development of acid rain. Acid rain is defined as any form of wet precipitation that has a pH less than 5.6 (on a scale of 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral). The 'rain' becomes acidic when water molecules react with gases in the air. The acidic compounds that are the result of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, fall to the earth in either wet form (such as rain, snow, and fog or dry form (such as gas and particles). Winds blow such particles and gases onto all types of human and natural structures. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
