Acid rain pollution in the Yangtze River basin and its adjacent areas

Mainly because the Yangtze River valley is the industrial concentration area of China, Hubei and Sichuan. Chongqing, Jiangsu and Shanghai are all important industrial centers in Central China and East China, and heavy and chemical industries are densely distributed. This led to the formation of regional acid rain in the Yangtze River basin.

Acid rain is a disastrous weather. The harm of acid rain is mainly to reduce crop yield, destroy forests and grasslands, corrode buildings and pollute rivers and lakes. Because the main energy source in China is coal, acid rain is mainly sulfuric acid rain.

Countermeasures: reduce dust emission from heavy chemical industry and increase desulfurization treatment in chemical enterprises.
