What is acid rain? 00:00:00
Acid rain is a type of precipitation that contains high levels of acidic components such as sulfuric 00:00:13
and nitric acid. 00:00:19
It's formed when the emissions from human activities such as burning fossil fuels mix 00:00:20
with water in the atmosphere. 00:00:24
This creates a chemical reaction that results in the formation of acidic compounds in the 00:00:25
air. 00:00:30
These compounds are then carried by the wind, and deposit onto the air's surface through 00:00:31
precipitation such as rain, snow and fog. 00:00:35
Acid rain in Madrid 00:00:38
The gases that produce acid rain are mainly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. 00:00:41
In Madrid, these gases are largely produced by vehicles and factories. 00:00:45
According to a study conducted by the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic 00:00:49
Challenge in 2020, Madrid has some of the highest levels of air pollution in Europe. 00:00:54
And acid rain is a major contributor to this problem. 00:01:00
This can lead to serious health problems such as respiratory illnesses and heart diseases. 00:01:03
Defects of fauna and flora 00:01:08
Defects of acid rain on vegetation can be severe. 00:01:11
It damages leaves and stunts plant growth, making it difficult for forests and other 00:01:14
plant communities to thrive. 00:01:19
Acid rain can also have harmful effects on animals that rely on these plants for food 00:01:21
and habitat. 00:01:26
Additionally, acid rain can lead to the acidification of bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers, 00:01:27
which can kill fish and other aquatic life. 00:01:33
Acid rain can also damage buildings, statues and monuments made of limestone or marble. 00:01:35
Guadarrama mountains 00:01:41
The Guadarrama mountains in Spain have been particularly affected by acid rain. 00:01:44
The acid rain damages the soil and makes it difficult for plants to absorb nutrients, 00:01:48
which can lead to the death of trees and other vegetation. 00:01:53
This can have a ripple effect on the entire ecosystem, impacting everything from water 00:01:57
quality to wildfire population. 00:02:02
The Spanish government has implemented measures to reduce emissions, such as promoting the 00:02:05
use of renewable energies or investing in public transport. 00:02:11
Our social media 00:02:16
We have created social networks in order to spread awareness of what we are doing to share 00:02:18
all our projects. 00:02:24
We have created a webpage and accounts in all social media platforms. 00:02:25
Adding to this, we have done a lot of experiments and collected a lot of information that is 00:02:29
available on our webpage. 00:02:35
Avoid acid rain negative effects 00:02:37
So, what can we do to avoid it? 00:02:40
Well, the most important part when fighting acid rain is to reduce as much as possible 00:02:43
the use of fossil fuels, both in cars and factories. 00:02:48
For this, we think that renewable energies should be more used. 00:02:52
