      Acid rain has a pH of 4. It is not strong enough to kill us right away. However, acid rains do have a negative effect on the soil and the plant life. It corrodes the leaves, and degrades the soil. This means that if we have too much of acid rain then our crops will be affected and we could eventually have shortage of food/ drought/ infertile soil etc.
