Polluted water and smog combine to form rain clouds that carry sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which damages forests and vegetation, especially in eastern Europe.
The deep orange-red gas nitrogen dioxide and the smoke-like particles that accompany it are what give smog its colour. In this demonstration, nitrogen dioxide is created by an electric discharge in the air and turns into acid rain when it is sprayed with water mist.
Acid rain's primary ingredient is sulfuric acid, which is created when sulphur dioxide reacts with water, air, and other gases. Deforestation can result from acid rain. waterways become more acidic, harming aquatic life.
High quantities of nitrogen dioxide can damage leaves, slow down growth, or lower crop yields in vegetation. Nitrogen dioxide can react with surfaces, fade and discolour furniture and fabrics, and diminish visibility.
A steroid is an organic macromolecule that is biologically active with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration. Steroids are important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity and act as signaling molecules. The two main types of steroids are corticosteroids and androgenic steroids like testosterone and estradiol.
