F1gure13-1oOxidesof sulfuremitted from fossil fuel power plants and other industries,andoxides of nitrogen from automobile exhaust,are converted inthe moist atmosphere intoacidsthat become dispersed overwide areas.Unlike unpolluted rain (average pH 5.6),the pH ofacid rain has been measured at 4.2 and evenlower. Plants,suchas these trees photographed in the Black Forest of Germany,may be damaged when the resulting increase in soil aciditycausescertain minerals,particularly calcium ions,to leach outofthesoil.(HansReinhard/BruceColeman)
