Acid rain occurs when acid-containing precipitation falls onto the earth's surface. Precipitation comes in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Scientists estimate that one-third of the world's acid rain falls near the coasts, carrying some 100 million tons of nitrogen oxide, ammonia, and Look at any ecosystem and there could be multiple forms of contamination streams full of toxic chemicals from industrial processes, rivers overloaded with nutrients from farms, trash blowing away from landfills, city skies covered in smog.
