Yaziwa njenge ukuwa kwekhephu kuloo nkqubo apho ukufuma okuqhelekileyo emoyeni kudityaniswa nezinto ze ngco liseko ezixekweni (isalfure dioxide kunye ne-nitrogen oxide), enika indlela ekwakhiweni kwe-nitric kunye ne-sulfuric acid ezinokuwa ngendlela yemvula. Njengoko kusaziwa, imvula eneasidi inokuzisa umonakalo omkhulu kwizithuba ezinokuhlanjwa yiyo, ke masifunde ngakumbi malunga nefuthe elinokulenza.
Yintoni ebangela imvula eneasidi? Njengoko besikhankanya i Iigesi ezingcolisayo ezikhutshwayo ezifana namalahle neoyile, ethi xa ixutywe nomphunga wamanzi zibe yisalfure acid
Phakathi kwezinto ezimbalwa zobubi eziza kubangela ukwehla kwazo sifumana ithuba lokuba sikwazi ukonakalisa inani elifanelekileyo lezakhiwo zasezidolophini, imarble okanye ilitye lekalika phakathi kwezinto ezinokuchaphazeleka kakhulu.
Ngaphandle koku, masiqaphele ukuba ikwanazo neziphumo ezibi kubomi bendalo, ukufumana ingxaki enkulu xa ihlala iwela elwandle okanye kumachibi kuba ubuninzi bayo bunokuchaphazela iintlanzi de zibangele ukufa kwazo ngendlela enkulu. Ikwanyanzelisa ukukhula okufanelekileyo kwezityalo ngenxa yokuchaphazela umhlaba. Eyona nto imbi kakhulu yile yokuba amafu athwala imvula eneasidi anokuhamba iikhilomitha ezininzi ngaphambi kokukhupha imixholo yawo.
Ngaba ikhona indlela yokulungisa le ngxaki? Ewe kunjalo, umzekelo, into efanelekileyo iya kuba kukunciphisa inqanaba lesalfure kwii-fuels, ukukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kwerhasi yendalo, ukwandisa iteknoloji yokuhambisa umbane, phakathi kwabanye.
