To do this, we should use public ‘transport, cycle or walk instead of driving. We can also swtoh to renewable energy sourcas such as the sum and the wind. certain gases such as sulghur dioxide (Sp) and milvagen oxices (NO,) from the air. These gases can come from some ratural sources ~ for example, voleani eruptions release them. But 90% of acid rain Is caused by humans burning fossil fuels such as coal ad oil Most fossil fuels are burnt by motor vehicles, homes, factories anc pawer stations, in areas with arge numbers of people, However, once in the air, they are at the mercy of the wind, which is why acid rain falls in the countryside ust as often as it falls inthe city Wherever it falls, acid rain is harmful. In towns and cites, it damages buildings, monuments, statues and bridges ~ especially the ones made of Imestone and marble, When it falls on plas, it damages their leaves and reots, and can even kil them.
