Acid Rain is caused by pollution containing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and ozone SO?â?¢, NOx, and O?â?¢ is released into the air. These chemicals are absorbed into clouds and results in Acid Presipitation Acid Rain, Acid Snow, Acid Hail, Acid Sleet . When the chemicals aren"t absorbed into clouds, they can drift for miles and fall to the ground, resulting in Acid Deposition, or dry deposition. When Acid Rain falls into water it is mixed in with the normal water and causes the pH of the entire body to be raised. Measurments on the pH potential Hydrogen scale, rise exponentialy,...
the other, but after the reaction is complete, both substances have undoubtably changed, their pH moved closer to neutral pH 7 . This knowledge led to the use of Salting.

Salting dropping salt, chalk, or limestone into lakes and streams is a done to reduce the acidicy of the water, and neutralize the water, counteracting the effects of the acid rain. This involves literally tonnes of salt, and an Airplane with a bombay. This is only a temporary solution, as putting salt into the water will not stop the acid from coming, it just neutralizes what is already there.
