Detailed explanation-1: -Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution. These energy sources can be used to power machinery and produce electricity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Burning coal puts different gases into the air. Some of these gases are called sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These gases mix with water droplets and oxygen (another gas) to make chemicals called sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -One method is carbon capture, which separates CO2 from emissions sources and recovers it in a concentrated stream. The CO2 can then be injected underground for permanent storage, or sequestration. Reuse and recycling can also reduce the environmental effects of coal production and use.
