What is the pH scale? Natural Water is usually about 5.5 on the scale

Sulfur and Nitrogen oxide are a by product of fossil fuels

These pollutants reacts with atmosphere, and then are transported and deposited as sulfates and nitrates

Carbon dioxide + Water = Carbonic acid (weak) Sulfur dioxide + Water = Sulfuric acid Nitrogen oxides + Water = Nitric acid

Map of pH values in the US. Where is it most acidic?

pH values for the year 2000

pH Values for 1996

Carbon dioxide + Water = Carbonic acid (weak) Sulfur dioxide + Water = Sulfuric acid Nitrogen oxides + Water = Nitric acid

Normal Precipitation is 5.5 pH, Fish Reproduction is affected at 5.0 pH, and Adult Fish Die at 4.0 pH

Notice the pH which affects mollusks. What is the pH of Long Island?

A yellow coloring of tree leaves is sometimes a sign of acid rain damage.

Acid Rain. Trees along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina are dying as a result of acid rain.
