Is Acid Rain a Thing of the Past?
www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/0...
"The story of acid rain from the 1970s is preserved in newspaper headlines, textbooks, and, it turns out, the soils of the northeastern United States. Forty years after humans first began tackling the problem, the impact of acid rain still lingers in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, according to a new study."
EPA: Acid Rain Program
www.epa.gov/airmarkets/acid-r...
"The Acid Rain Program (ARP), established under Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments requires major emission reductions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the primary precursors of acid rain, from the power sector."
Climate Change, Explained in One Simple Comic
www.seeker.com/climate-change-...
"Randall Munroe, creator of the tri-weekly web comic xkcd, has combined the two into an epic timeline of earth's climate. It shows just how radical the recent changes are and puts to bed the trope 'the climate has changed before.'"

"fish can't swim in orange juice"
way to ruin my dreams of replacing the ocean with orange juice.
Maybe they'll like Brawndo.
Brawndo has electrolytes. It's what fish crave.
Is "Tang" a viable option?
Chris Garcia too much arsenic
How much pulp are we talking about? I'm pretty sure the fish could swim for a bit, but it would probably suffocate quickly.
Some stay dry, and others feel the pain
CHOCOLATE RAINNNN!!
you, i like you
ACID RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Litterly
Atasco Osage a baby's born, the father's left to blame
What Ever Happened To Chocolate Rain?
damnit was about to comment tht. XD
Organize a block party. Inviite your neighbors. Serve lots of Mexican food and top it off with spoiled salad. Make sure eeveryone stuffs themselves until they can't take any more. Send them up to your roof naked and have them stand on their heads. Soon there will be "chocolate" rain.
JD HOLY SHIT BALLS
**I move away from the mic to breath in
idk man, i guess some feel joy, while others feel the pain.
3:34 Answers the question. Everything before that is just explaining what acid rain is.
It kills everything but dandelions. Those fuckers pop up everywhere.
They're beautiful, you've been brainwashed by the grass lobby.
+Cenk "Cop Killer" Uygur They are also quite edible
+Cenk "Cop Killer" Uygur WE'RE AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA DUMBASS, WE TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME!!!!
Is that in Colorado??
Maybe Cenk should have thought about that before partnering with Al Jazerra, a Qatar government controlled news site.
I remember in 1989 science class in middle school give an experiment with acid rain and after collecting rainwater and testing it with pH strips it didn't even test alkaline we found out the tap water in the city was more acidic
if i drink blench and then battery acid i'll be fine right?
Yeah, I do it all the time
actually yes, but both are still extremly unhealthy
MinecraftZombyify Are you telling me i don't have to go to the hospital?
hi dead, I'm dad
Lol a similar process keeps the lining in your stomach from burning due to the acid.
2:15 "mixing acidity with a lower pH just neutralizes it".
You mean a higher pH?
Psychopathic Yordle or lower pOH.
a teemo should know
a higher pH is safer then a lower one
alex munoz Even if that were true (and it isn't because really basic stuff is dangerous as well) it's not really relevant? Not sure what you're getting at. In the video he said you neutralize an acid by mixing it with a substance with a LOWER pH which is obviously a mistake since that means you are mixing an acid with an acid.
So your saying battery acid is more safe then milk ? Go rewatch the video
2:16
"So, mixing acidity with a lower pH just neutralises it."
Something doesn't seem right here...
explain please
@@rainandthangz Low pH (less than 7) is acidic. 7 is neutral. High pH (higher than 7) is alkali.
I believe he actually meant mixing it with higher pH.
I spotted that one mistake too,and was thinking someone in the comments section is going to mention it. I wasn't disappointed.
"... the acid *basically* kills their growth enzymes."
I laughed.
I was wondering about this just this past week. Thanks for explaining.
The triangular sign displayed on the lead-in graphic is the bio-hazard sign. Acid rain is a chemical hazard, not a biologic one (Yes, the acid in acid rain hurts plants, which are biological, but the acid isn't - it is chemical).
the sign is there for the acid rain to be cautious of humans, because humans are a biohazard
I remember learning about this in the 90s
Why do we get voice cracks?
Our voices were on crack thats why
+TheEmarald Gamer lmao

your welcome :D
TheEmarald Gamer Thanks bro!
I freaking love this channel!!!! I have a playlist, it's all your videos ahahaha :)
Acid rain gave the term "bad weather" a whole new dimension.
Back in the late 80's and early 90's, I heard "acid rain" and "ozon layer depletion" almost every day from TV. Recently I wondered why I do not hear them any more. These days all I hear are global warming and plastic pollution in the oceans.
Jeong-hun Sin it's whatever the media wants you to see and hear. The media is controlled by corporations that make deals with various government agencies. Most of what they show is unimportant and doesn't directly affect you unless you are in the area the news is talking about. Any environmental issues are biased politically. Acid rain,which I remember as well, slowly disappeared from media when the public became less disturbed about it.
Laws where put in place to combat them. Removing the need to discuss them at length.
Climate change and plastic pollution are still being debated by politicians and since they're slow and bureaucratic there are still not enough laws around to combat it.
I seem to recall there being a lot of concern about acid rain in the news in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster,as well as connected to industrial emissions in the 80s.
My PH testing strips tell me the rain falling over michigan right now is 5.0PH
cool explanation keep doing a good job 👍
Great explanation.
I always knew not to drink rainwater for some reason. I just thought about the pollution in the atmosphere. A problem in the 70's when we actually had factories and jobs.
Nick Diamond That awkward moment when the 70s had an unemployment rate worse than now...
So are you just going to stop swallowing your spit, because it's acidic too, and what about your stomach acid, that HCl acid with a pH of about 2.
It depends on which country.
The UK may have been hit hard during the 1970s but the US not so much and Japan was in a boom during that time.
Plus most of the jobs created recently are low pay service jobs with few benefits and pay much less than the lost factory jobs after factoring in inflation so there really has not been a recovery since 2008.
Patchuchan I don't belekive thats entirely correct. The majority of new jobs today come form medical and S.T.E.M fields. A far cry better than factory work if you ask me, and much better paying at that.
That's why there are so few jobs. The US is losing the lead in most of the STEM field too. We need entry level jobs for kids coming out of school. The US can make factories run much cleaner now than in the 70's and 80's.
Acid Rain was the name of my father's band
God this is like science class again. Good thing science is my favorite subject.
I'm insignificant.
Join the club
ok
Yes you are
invent a new belt.
Why is this the top trending comment? XD
Do germs die? Do germs get squished when you press your fingers?
yes and yes
*Hits self, immediately commits genocide*
That probably just makes the germs poop or mate harder...
yes and no
Random Internet Profile yes
I'd like to see a whole video about pH!
what happened to your podcast? I really love it, please do them more often.
What do blind people dream of?
Blind sheep.
probably a story of some sort in sounds and feelings
search for tommyedisonxp on TH-cam. He is blind and answers those kind of questions
cherry violet If they were born blind I dunno, but if they became blind normal things
More importantly, if a blind person's finger smells like poop how do they know what butt it came from?
Now I know why my goldfish didn't like orange juice.
LOL
Quit suffocating your fish
"Here, let me save you from drowning" Said the Monkey to the Fish, safely putting him up a tree.
I remember acid rain. That was what 15+ science projects were on, and girls would get 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention all for acid rain research. I was taught at a young age, go with the fads and girls are more valued than boys.
I could be wrong but for those places where rain water is too acidic, couldn’t you use the ph adjusters people use for their aquariums? Surely it’s safe to drink
You should do a video on volcanic ash. Here in Costa Rica we have been struggling with that for this past couple of years
Just go with the flow .
the PH range is not 0-14 there are concentrations of several chemicals that fall outside that range
teach me
14 is the upper limit though.
acids can be negative
It is for solutions in water. Which is what the scale is calibrated with.
Sick snoo, bruh
I was thinking what ever happened to acid rain
I think what Trace meant to say is "...mixing acidity with a *higher* pH just neutralizes it."
interesting fact. Acid rain in light amounts actually help plants by placing sulfur back into the soil.
3:23 the REAL reason we heard about acid rain in the 1970's was due to bad acid trips. LSD is a hell of a drug.
what?
.
Which is worse, Acid rain or a Chocolate rain ?
chocolate rain
some stay dry and some fell the pain,
IndraEMC I was just singing "Acid Rain" to that tune...
I was just sitting watchin the rain an thought to myself what ever happened to acid rain thank you trace
I love how in every video they find the most random way to connect the story too their sponsor
What would happen if you drink me
Clorox Bleach
I'd probably be charged with murder seeing as you are an actual human beyond this anonymous persons on the Internet.
Is that a question or a statement?
Their insides would be oxidized
It's a question
YOU ARE EVERYWHERE WTF
Coke and pepsi has converted acid rain into soft drinks
All these years... All these chemistry lessons. And i didn't even know that pH stands for power of Hidrogen.
I'm gonna put a gold fish in Orange juice... for science!
Ivan Travels DID YOUR GOLDFISH SURVIVE?
poor fish.
How to make a lot of money:
Creat a concern, real or unreal doesn't matter, funding for the feasability and possibilities is available for both sides. Pick one and ride the gravy train until funding is gone. Then choose a side on the next concern.
This is pretty good explanation, except that a lot of enforcement was required after the Clean Air Act of 1990 to compel Power Companies to install state of the art controls on coal fired plants to remove SO2 and NOX emissions (and mercury) from their air emissions. These enforcement actions have continued well into this century.
For the control of these pollutants, emission trading produced insufficient results.
My online biology class said some archaea bacteria live in pH levels below 0. Have negative pHs even been measured?
0:50 as chemist i must disagree. pH can go beyond 0 and 14.
the most acid as a pka of -31 already (not sure how mixing it with water will do)
I just realized I went through all those years of schooling without knowing pH stood for something
Why is there a biohazard in this video's thumbnail? A "corrosive" (the human hand going into a beaker and being skeletonized symbol) would make more sense.
My tomato plant on my balcony got hit with some acid rain earlier in the year with the first rain after a lot of dryness. Almost killed off a whole vine!
Ph video or even series on the other channel would be interesting to see
bellbottom jeans are coming back though... has already just not MASSIVELY...
I googled that on images and didn't expect what I found.
Joseph Stassup haha how come?
what did u find?????
I don't know! I saw cows made of jeans material with gigantic apples for heads and cowbells around their necks in a big green field with the song "apple bottom jeans" with T-Pain playing in the background even though bellbottom and apple bottom jeans are different things?
Now. What did U find???? cuz that's a site i personally see every morning
HB SKATE lol no but I think bellbottom jeans can look pretty damn good if you do it right :3
and how about chocolate rain?
I was just thinking about this a couple days ago.
RIP Prince
Yeah whatever happened to it? I remember seeing a statue in one of my science books that had damage on the nose from acid rain. I remembered being fascinated as hell about it.
I remember that.. Lol. Was in my social studies book but in the early 80’s
What ever happened to chocolate rain
Sorry can't raise my hand when it's in my pants.
The pH of water varies depending on where it comes from. It is typically never 7.0 su.
Distillated water is.
Mixing acidity with a *higher pH neutralizes it. Great video as always though!
did you have to compare rain to pee?
Don't worry, that urine rain will become orange juice rain if we pollute more.
maybe it will become gasoline then we can set fire to the rain.
That would be devastating a cool to watch
Sweden has, and still does at some scale, put huge economic resources in flybomb our forests with lime to neutralize the effect of acidic rain. We use helicopters with containers under in the same way that firefighters waterbomb fires.
I don't know if you guys take suggestions, but could you make a video on the economy based on the assumtion of growth and fossil fuels?
I think you mean "mixing acidity with a HIGHER pH just neutralizes it." A lower pH would make the acid stronger.
I drink battery acid every day and it doesn't affect me...... Trace you lie to me!!!!!
this is random
WirIez I'm not joking
yes you are
Adrian Penchev I'm not joking
The Entity yes you are
Prince jokes, to soon?
Its been beyond the two month rule
There is no "too soon", that's an idea people made up to seem like they care. People that really care make jokes at the funeral or even the death bed.
Who?
4k TV tells me that you had a nice vacation.
Acid rain also frees aluminium ions in the soil and transports it to lakes and ponds. This affects the fish by clogging up it's gills.
It's coming back once Trump gets rid of the EPA. Trump 2016!
Yeah let's get cancer thanks to #Trump2016
Politics woo! President has so little control it's funny to me! LOL #Trump2016
#Politics
#ImSoCool
The EPA has been dumping toxic waste into rivers lately, with saviours of the environment like them who needs oil companies..
I too enjoy rampant, baseless speculation and character assassination of independent and governmental organizations I happen to not like!
Now let me tell you about how the NRA has been selling military grade weapons to drug cartels and how NASA is hiding aliens from us.
@Nudibranch The EPA is a bigger waste of money than sending you to school obviously was you lazy bum. If you had taken just 5 sec to go over to google and type in "Animas River" and "EPA" you might not come off like such a fucking moron. I suppose that was the NRA running operation fast and furious right, or was it Obamas lapdog Eric Holder? So yeah its not baseless speculation that these agencies actually do the OPPOSITE of what we pay them to do is it fucktard?
Donald Trump built a wall around it
Power of Hydrogen? I have never heard of that.
pH actually stands for 'Potential of Hydrogen'
I see what you did there. Trying to sneak in that Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference at 2:29. I'll take my cookie and/or gold star now :D
I heard about acid raid once when the white girl in That's So Raven played a tree dying of acid rain.
The oceans have a normal pH of 8.2-8.3, not 9, and if anything, it is dropping and going down because of ocean acidification. I have heard reports of the pH being as low as 7.5 from ocean acidification, which is troubling to say the least, and is a long way off from the 9 stated in this video. In fact, why hasn't DNews done that as a topic? Or perhaps they have and I just haven't seen it.
yea I would love to know more about the pH scale and why it's setup the way it is.
It's the concentration of H3O+ ions. at a pH of 7 you have a concentration of 1e-7.
tabularasa0606 can you put that in laymen's terms please?
In a watery solution some of the H2O molecules are split into H+ and OH- ions, the H+ binds to another H2O molecule forming H3O+
In distillated water the concentration of H3O+ and OH- is 1 part in 10 000 000. the 10 log of 10 000 000 is 7 which is the pH of the water.
In an acid the concentration of H3O+ is higher for example 1 part in 100 000 the 10 log of 100 000 is 5, thus the solution has a pH of 5.
In an alkaline solution the OH- reduces the concentration of H3O+ so it may be 1 part in 1 000 000 000 which makes the pH 9.
tabularasa0606 I think I got it now. Thanks.
"citrius, _kimchi_, soda"
all i can picture is the kimchi face slapping atm 😂😂😂😂
I was just thinking, why haven't I heard of this since the 1990's!
when I was a kid l lichens lived on the rocks but they have mostly died out on the rocks and are now growing on the trunks of trees. They didn't used to grow on trees. I have thought this change came about because of acid rain.
"Fish cant swim in orange juice", - that was a good one man ;D
Question. I haven't watched all of DNews videos, but I wonder if you've covered carbon levels in the atmosphere? I've seen this topic escalated to quite some proportions on Facebook recently. Just a suggestion if you ever want a topic for a new video.
***** :D And what makes you say that?
thanks
I thought you were gonna say something crazy like, "It never existed, HERE'S WHY!" XD
I was eating kimchi while watching this. Did not expect the kimchi reference.
Prince actually got 'Purple Rain' (released in 1984) from 'Ventura Highway' by America who sang in 1972; "Wishin' on a falling star, Waitin' for the early train, Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain."
The advert that was on before I could watch this video kept on crashing...can you get youtube to disallow adverts that are too large in data or too slow for loading because it has happened a few times before...and this advert has stopped me from watching this video...
Yeah, what did happen to acid rain? I've never really heard anything about it in a really long time. I guess those scrubbers put into smoke stacks helped. So it's not a big deal in America anymore but just in countries that are essentially Captain Planet villains.
Can you make a video about the so call portals in the magnetic field around the earth and from the sun ?
See Forbes article called "Remember The Acid Rain 'Scare'? Global Warming Hysteria Is Pouring Down"
"As it turned out, those widespread fears proved to be largely unfounded, since only one species of tree at a high elevation suffered any notable effect, and acidity in lakes was traced to natural causes. The investigating scientists reported that they had 'turned up no smoking gun; that the problem is far more complicated than it been thought; that other factors combine to harm trees; and that sorting out the cause-and-effect was difficult and in some cases impossible.' "
Thank you for the comment 💪😁
I've heard of acid rain but never heard of it happening
Everytime it rains on my exposed head my scalp gets irritated so I put it down to acid rain!
ranges from pure protons in solution to pure oh in solution haha. I use a 6m molar hcl that is a negative Ph. (you generally dilute it before use)
I am reminded of the commercial from Scrooged
I had a project to research acid rain in college and I couldn't find anything about it on the entire internet. Where the hell were you?
wait at 2:17 shouldn't it be higher ph? Cuz if you mix acids with stuff with lower ph (more acidic) it just gets more acidic.
Seeing once beautiful Ancient Greek statues with faces that had been melted off over the last 30 years by acid raid was devastating.
I used to go outside and catch rain in my mouth. I was young, and still regret it.
You can also go -1 so the range is kind of not from 1-14
This is like tuning in to E!
Dreary video
In the 60's I made snow ice cream out of acid snow and I ended up in the hospital having surgery to my throat
Acid and its effects have not gone away. Just yesterday's news. Popular media and big business push issues that have more shock value, not the ones that they hope have been forgotten about.
(sorry, acid rain, not LSD, which has its own issues that are no longer popular or talked about)
They smelt steel a few miles from where I live and the smell of sulphur is unbareable sometimes but the plants don't care at all.
+Leithmaar it never burned your eyes.
***** I've lived in Hamilton my whole life, the rain has never burned my eyes here and I've always worked outside too. Never heard of that happening anywhere. When was this? maybe it was before my time.
The point is that its effects have been somewhat mitigated by reducing sulfur emissions. Go look at any diesel pump -- they all have that sticker about low-sulfur diesel being required.
