Detailed explanation-1: -When it comes to the problem of acid rain, Germany is its own worst enemy. The main sources of acid rain are smoke from factories and cars. Factories burn fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, and oil. This adds to acid rain through auto emissions.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Germany, a country of old woods, beautiful rivers, and historic monuments, acid rain took a heavy toll on the natural environment. The United States was not spared, either. In the Adirondack Mountains alone, fish died off in a quarter of all lakes as the water’s acidity increased.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acid rain can be formed by natural causes, such as volcanic eruptions. More commonly, however, acid rain is due to human activities. Burning fossil fuels, manufacturing, oil refineries, electricity generation, and vehicles all release sulfur and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -Acid rain damages the resources on which the timber industry relies. Germany must pay for health care due to the health issues caused by acid rain. Acid rain significantly damages the tools on which the mining industry relies.
