Module 1 : Atmospheric Composition and Principles of Contaminant Behavior

Lecture 4 : Acid Rain

 

Finally, acid deposition effects a number inanimate features of human construction. Buildings and head stones that are constructed from limestone are easily attacked by acids, as are structures that are constructed of iron or steel. Paint on cars can react with acid deposition causing fading. Many of the churches and cathedrals in Europe are under attack from the effects of acidic deposition.
