Statements

Acidification refers to increased acidity in ecosystems due to pollution, harming biodiversity, degrading soils, freshwater systems, and damaging infrastructure. It occurs when pollutants like CO₂, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduce pH levels in the environment. This leads to risks for plants, animals, and human health, while also contributing to long-term environmental damage.
