 not in the choices given
The "harmful materials" being described in the previous question is generally called?
 ecological waste
 industrial waste
 pollutants
A. Which is/are TRUE about acid rain? i. Formed when secondary air pollutants change physically or
chemically when reacted to water vapor. ii. The increase in the pH level of precipitate due to evaporated
polluted water in seas and ocean. iii. A phenomenon resulted when air pollutants become concentrated in the
atmosphere due to weak wind system. iv. Corrodes industrial materials, historical infrastructures and paints.
Mostly happens during strong wind velocity carrying and dispersing air pollutants in large areas. *
