Book Description
Acid rain is a global phenomenon affecting every aspect of man's life on the earth. Acid rain is a rain and other forms of deposition that are acidic. Industrialization, population increase and other forms of anthropogenic activities have resulted to increase concentrations of both gaseous and particulate pollutants in the atmosphere causing air pollution. Stress is any form of disturbance that causes alterations in the morphology, whole plant physiology and biochemistry. Acid rain stress like other stressors is directly linked to increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which badly damages cells. Among the most important challenges facing human in the 21st century is ''air pollution''. Air pollutants like oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are the primary causes of acid rain and to some extent ozone. The release of these gases which rapidly react with water in the atmosphere creates an acidic atmosphere with overwhelming effects on human health, plants, soil etc. This book is intended to present research findings on effect of simulated acid rain on nutrient quality of some vegetables species consumed in Nigeria an area with scare information.

Book Description
Environmental pollution occurs due to release of harmful gases from industrial units. It results in the form of acid rain either wet or dry form. Factories, vehicles, power stations and industries burn fossil fuels and produce harmful gases, comprising sulfur dioxide, or oxides of nitrogen, which become the major course of acid rain. Acid rain sometimes falls in the form of precipitation which can be snow, rain, dew or fog. Dry deposition is absorption of particles such as polluting gases, dust particles and gaseous elements by the surface of the Earth. The pH level of acid rain may be less than 7 but when the concentration of pollutants increases in the atmosphere, it further decreases and strong acids like sulfuric and nitric acid are formed. Acid rain induces visible lesion injury on plant shoots and on other tissues. It also destroys epicuticular wax; reduces photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll contents. Acid rain in plants can considerably reduce plant height, number of leaves, fresh and dry weight contents. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of simulated acid rain on the growth performance of Wheat and Oat crops.
