The industrial civilization and technological development of our times has given birth to "acid rain," which is precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, hail or fog with high concentrations of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), nitric acid (HNO₃) and carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). The increase in rain acid has had significant effects on ecosystems: the world's forests are dying and their water bodies cannot sustain normal fish populations. It also reduces crop yields and corrodes marble, metal and stone in cities.

Palabras llave : forests; industrial pollution; forest soils.
