Acid Rain: An Dangerous World Problem


Imagine, if one day Malaysia is poured with that horrible acid rain, what would be happened? In the meantime, you're in a wide field and there is no shelter for you.. Owh, so scary!! Many living and non-living systems become harmed and damaged as a result of acid rain. It is one of the most dangerous and widespread forms of pollution. Now, let we discuss about the causes of acid rain. Acid rain is caused by smoke and gases that are given off by factories and cars that run on fossil fuels. When these fuels are burned to produce energy, the sulfur that is present in the fuel combines with oxygen and becomes sulfur dioxide; some of the nitrogen in the air becomes nitrogen oxide. These pollutants go into the atmosphere, and become acid. Automobiles produce nitrogen oxides (which cause acid rain), so every time you don't carpool when you can, you are helping to cause acid rain. So, don't buy a car.. Hehehe, just kidding! =p Actually it's fine if you want to use automobile, but be wise on using them. Use public transport is the best way to reduce this problem than occur. Ok! =)
