The acid rain falls creating and combining with the local water supply that the plant and trees are dependent on. The roots
of the tree suck this contaminated water and absorb the poisons of the water. The leaves receive the poisons and too much
concentration of the acid can kill the plant, if the plant happens to be vegetation that animals or humans eat then it can
cause problems in health.
The problems arise when we use the trees and plants for our use because it is contaminated and can cause health problems.
Many problems such as asthma, Alzheimer's disease have arisen from these plants being poisoned.
If the acid rain happened to fall over a lake or an entity of water then it can cause issues with many animals nearby.
The plants that are dependent on this water eventually become affected and infect those animals on the land because the animals
that eat them become affected by it. The lake gets affected because the fish begin to die with the pH gets lower then 4 and
the system gets highly effected because the other animals that are reliant to the fish begin to die out because of lack of
food.
The acidic water systems affect us because if we consume these infected fish then our health is in great risk. It slowly poisons
us and this fish from that lake begins to die and the economy that is highly reliant to that lake of fish begins to fall.
Also if there is a bottle water company producing water from there then they need extra materials to counteract and neutralize
this acid that is contained in the water.
The aquatic systems in our area aren’t affected like most the other systems in the U.S but this is still a little
problem. Our water is slightly acidic and sometimes not very safe to drink.
