What are the disadvantages of acid rain?

• Acid rain affects the freshwater ponds and lakes and destroys aquatic life, as some species of fishes are rare and may be extinct.
• It can damage historical monuments and buildings. The buildings can be found with sulphuric acid.
• A major consequence of more acidic water is its retention of aluminium, which can poison forests.
• Soil can be affected by acid rain and can lead to the deaths of good microbes. By depriving the soil of the essential nutrient and calcium, acidic rain makes it harder for plants to absorb water from the soil.
• It can affect the trees, particularly those that are at high altitudes.
