Of the 2 types of acid rain nitrogen oxide is the one that damages humans more, the nitrogen oxide affects your membranes
in the respiratory system. This can damage your lungs and other respiratory organs. Nitrogen oxide also causes damage in the

be accountable for damage in the brain that cause Alzheimer disease.
Some direct problems that people suffer from sulfur acid rain are that it can cause asthma, headaches, colds and other
respiratory problems. Slightly indirect, but after the acid rain the plant soak up the toxins in the water through there roots,
