Chia Ching - Acid Rain
Cause
Indirectly
"Acid rain doesn't usually kill trees directly. Instead, it strips the soil of nutrients and minerals as it percolates downward, gradually limiting productivity."(University Of Georgia, 1999, paragraph 3)
Industrialization cause acid rain (Labauer, 2010)
Sulfur
"The vast majority of sulfur and nitrogen emissions come from electric utility plants, automobiles and other forms of transportation."( University Of Georgia,1999, paragraph 2)
Transportation
5 percent of sulfuric acid comes from transportation (Lebauer, 2010)
Electric Utilities
Industrial and other sources contaminate 9 percent to sulfuric acid (Lebauer, 2010)
Fuel combustion
19 percent of sulfur comes from fuel combustion (Lebauer, 2010)
Electric utilities
Electric utilities contaminate 67 percent to sulfuric acid (Lebauer, 2010)
Nitrogen
Electric Utilities
Electric utilities contaminate 22 percent to nitric acid (Lebauer, 2010)
Fuel combustion
17 percent of nitrogen comes from fuel combustion (Lebauer, 2010)
-
Transportation
54 percent of nitrogen comes from transportation (Lebauer, 2010)
emission
“Coxworth said if acid rain continues to all unabated, it will destroy forests and lakes in Saskechewan’s northern region.”(CBC News ,2009, p.1)
"The society wants the federal government to regulate emission from Alberta's oilsands."(CBC News, 2009, p.1)
General
In general, air polution and burning fossil fuel are the main causes of acid rain (Labauer, 2010)
Effect
Fish
Fish population decline or disappear, they cannot reproduce.(Lebauer, 2010)
There are 1,200 lakes without fish in Ontario, Canada. (Lebauer, 2010)
Forest and lakes
“ what they say is an increasing threat to northern lakes and forests from acid rain linked to oil sands development in Alberta.”(CBC News, 2009, p.1)
Acid rain destroys the protective waxy surface of trees.→Trees are sensitive to the environment.→Trees died.
Architecture
The US spend billions dollars to fix structures every year. (Lebauer, 2010)
