Question

Can air pollution lead to water pollution?

Answer 1

Yes, air pollution can lead to water pollution due to acid pollution. Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants called acid rain. This acid rain can lead to water pollution killing the aquatic life.
