Question

What is the link between domestic waste and acid rain?

Answer 1

• Domestic waste is the waste generated by human dwellings. It is also called as residential waste. Sources of domestic waste includes food wastes, paper, cardboard, plastics, textiles, leather, yard wastes, wood, glass, metals, ashes, special wastes (e.g., bulky items, consumer electronics, white goods, batteries, oil, tires), and household hazardous wastes.
  
• When the concentrations of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur increases due to various reactions among the wastes, rain water gets mixed up with these oxides to form acid rains.
