Rain water has a natural pH between 5 and 6 due to the formation of carbonic acid from dissolved CO2. The increased presence of certain air pollutants has resulted in rain water with pH values lower than 5. Increased [H*] has contributed to an increase in ocean acidity, slowed coral growth, damaged marble statues, and spotting or pitting of automobile paint.
