What are some ways to prevent or reverse the occurrence of acid rain?
1 Answer
Stop producing acidic smokes and smogs.
Explanation:
One way to fight against acid rain is to minimize sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, etc. From an environmental point of view, the best strategy is increasing energy efficiency and conservation measures that result in burning less coal and using nonpolluting alternative energy alternatives (such as PV or wind energy). Another strategy is to utilize pollution abatement technology at fossil-fuel fired power plants to lower emissions of air pollutants that trigger acid rain.
One solution to lake acidification is rehabilitation by the periodic addition of lime. This solution is not satisfactory over a long period of time because it is expensive and requires a continuous effort. This solution to the acid rain problem is to ensure that the production of acid forming components in the atmosphere is minimized.
