Rain with dissolved acids, mainly sulfuric and nitric from fossil fuels and combustion engines acid.
HOW ACID RAIN AFFECTS WILDLIFE?
The eggs of several species of birds appear with very thin walls due to aluminum ingested by insects which feed. These insects precisely develop in acified waters. Herbivores are affected to acidify the soil, plants that eat those, acummulate a larger amount of heavy metals (aluminum, cadmium, etc.) Summarizing the above, we can say that the fauna will also be affected by changes in the composition and structure of vegetation. If, for example, forest and demaged, major changes will occur in the animal species that make up the forest ecosystem.
There have been many cities where acid rain have fallen, leaving affected the plantlife, the wildlife, human themselves, contaminated forests, produces sickness...
In this image is a forest by acid rain, where the trees have lost their foliage.
Acid rain has affected wildlife, killing thousands of fish and leaving a whole river without nature.
This has been a dog after acid rain
CONCLUSION: We should reduce the fossil combustion, reduce the energy in houses and fabrics... because it produces serious long-time effects in everyday life. The acid rain can kill and leave sequelae.
