Description

Acid rain describes any type of acidic moisture that can have devastating effects on not only aquatic ecosystems but also terrestrial areas.

• Expose rock materials and metals, both naturally occurring and common in construction, to acidic environment
• Examine the reaction of these materials in contrast to the same materials exposed to “normal” rain (tap water)
