How does acid rain affect the iron structure
Dear Student
Acid rain increases the rate of corrosion in iron structures. It also decreases the lustre of these structures and leads to their disfiguration.
Acid rain is a by-product of various human activities that leads to the emission of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere. These oxides undergo oxidation and then react with water vapour to form acids.
Acid rain causes damage to buildings and structures made of stone and metal. In India, limestone is a major stone used in the construction of various monuments and statues, including the Taj Mahal. Limestone is greatly affected by acid rain.
