Explanation:

For instance farmers are using basic fertilizers to neutralize an acid soil –which is harmful for the plants- while basic solutions are added in the chimneys of factories to neutralize the acid smoke that they produce –avoiding the catastrophic effects of the acid rains. Acid released in the environment from industry creates acid rain which has many ecological effects. Acid rain makes waters acidic, and causes them to absorb the aluminium that makes its way from soil into lakes and streams. This combination makes waters toxic to crayfish, clams, fish, and other aquatic animals.
