Germany is a country of old forests, beautiful rivers, and historic artwork and buildings. Over the past 30 years, acid rain has taken its toll on these landmarks. Acid rain has ruined nearly half of the Black Forest in Southwestern Germany. It has damaged the soil and the trees growing in it. Many areas of diseased trees are at risk of dying. Acid rain pollutes rivers, like the Danube and the Rhine, and kills the wildlife living there.
When it comes to the problem of acid rain, Germany is its own worst enemy. The main sources of acid rain are smoke from factories and power plants. These facilities burn fuels like natural gas, coal, and oil.
