Reason — Acid rain has a corrosive nature and damages buildings, monuments containing limestone or marble, corrodes metal structures, harms aquatic ecosystems by disrupting reproduction of aquatic animals, and damages forests by reducing soil fertility and damaging leaves. It does not decrease CO2 levels, increase soil fertility, or directly cause desertification.
