Acid rain
Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. The chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and erosion of stone statues.

Saurer Regen
Als sauren Regen bezeichnet man Niederschlag, dessen pH-Wert niedriger ist als der pH-Wert, der sich in reinem Wasser durch den natürlichen Kohlenstoffdioxidgehalt der Atmosphäre einstellt (pH-Wert = 5,5).

Pluie acide
L'expression « pluie acide » a été pour la première fois utilisée par Robert Angus Smith en 1870. Elle décrit depuis toutes les formes de précipitations (pluies, smogs, aérosols, etc.) qui dégradent voire détruisent des écosystèmes et/ou corrodent ou dissolvent certains bâtiments anciens fragiles.

Surt regn
Surt regn har ett pH-värde under det normala, (omkring 5,6), och beror främst på utsläpp av svaveldioxid och kväveoxider, eller NOx, till atmosfären. Dessa reagerar med vatten i molnen och bildar syror. Syrorna kan transporteras långa sträckor med molnen tills de faller som nederbörd.

Acid Rain
Kwasny deszcz
Kwaśne deszcze – opady atmosferyczne, o odczynie kwaśnym; zawierają kwasy wytworzone w reakcji wody z pochłoniętymi z powietrza gazami, takimi jak: dwutlenek siarki, tlenki azotu, siarkowodór, chlorowodór, wyemitowanymi do atmosfery w procesach spalania paliw, produkcji przemysłowej, wybuchów wulkanów, wyładowań atmosferycznych i innych czynników naturalnych.
