Gwyenn explained to the class what pH was. She talked about how
gases as well as solids get into the air and mix with the moisture
forming acids.
These acids come down as rain polluting our ponds, rivers and
our water supply.
These are building materials that have changed
as a result of being rained on. The acid (low pH) in the rain water
has eaten away at the brick and cement surfaces.
