4. Sulfate and Nitrates Effects on Water Supplies Effects on Forests Effects on our Buildings Effects our pollution has on Canada Effects Mexico’s Pollution is having on us

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

8. Sulfur and Nitrogen oxide are a by product of fossil fuels

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

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

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

18. pH values for the year 2000

19. pH Values for 1996

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

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

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

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

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

34. Carbon dioxide + Water = Carbonic acid (weak) Sulfur dioxide + Water = Sulfuric acid Nitrogen oxides + Water = Nitric acid Simulation: the Effects of Acid Rain on buildings, statues, and ancient monuments:
