Acid Rain, I hear you

Acid Rain

The tree tops are Dead,
And so are the Roots;
It's the rain they Dread,
Also the Shoots.

The rain is like Acid,
It eats it all Away;
Should be more placid,
Would help in a big Way.

But one Day the Trees will be Gone,
It seems all the people do is Yawn;
But when it is Black, Dark, and no Bark,
We'll wish we were sitting in a Green Park.

Acid Rain

I've never loved so much,
A person, place,or thing,
And like a song bird crushed,
my heart no longer sings.

I thought I knew of hell,
the sorrow, and the pain.
But now inside this broken shell,
I'm burned by acid rain.

Drop by drop I slowly die,
seeking shelter or some hope,
I hurt so bad I only cry,
I want to talk but only choke.

I'm consumed with despair,
and I can't stand up straight,
and when I think you really care,
I realize that it's too late.

I loved you from the start,
I'm not afraid to say,
that deep down in my heart,
I'm in love with you and,
only you....

Is rain getting more or less acidic?

Thank god. After 2 years of studying chemistry, I assume the only to measure the acidity of acid rain is the pH . The pH of rain depends on two things: the presence of acid-forming substances such as sulphates, and the availability of acid-neutralizing substances such as calcium and magnesium salts. Clean rain has a pH value of about 5.6. By comparison, vinegar has a pH of 3... I think :) Besides, FYI reductions in the acidity of acid rain are due to reductions in emissions of SO2.

Well, if you guys know any other ways to measure the acidity of acid rain please kindly inform us.

Actually pH depends on the presence of Hydrogen ions. The more Hydrogen ions there is, the more acidic the solution is.
