Humans are one of the species that tolerate acid rains quite well. Unlike mayflies and trees, we can hardly notice any acid in the rain. People also experience no discomfort swimming in the acid lakes, as opposed to fish and amphibians. However, high levels of sulfates and nitrates particles in the air trigger a range of conditions in humans. Inhaling these particles, we increase the risk of heart attack or lung dysfunction. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are common air pollutants alongside ozone and carbon monoxide. Most humans usually breathe the mixture of those particles, but in areas where acid

Acid rains fall when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides are released from the production of fossil fuels. Volcano gas also saturates the atmosphere with toxic chemicals, but eruptions do not prevail in America and Europe where acid rains fall quite often. After such a rain, PH level of water in rivers and lakes drops and the water becomes more acidic. Though humans may not notice the change right away, aquatic animals indicate that something is wrong with the water. Like other environmental disasters, acid rains impact ecosystems unevenly. Most fish is intolerant towards acid and dies out after the acid rains.

From underwater spheres or skyscrapers on Mars, the ideas about our future dwelling are weird but impressive. As the population expands, cities will need to room much more people than they have today. Let us say in 100 years, skyscrapers will be burrowed deep into the ground to cope with the demand. Glass and metal buildings will prevail in construction as they are enough strong and efficient. Minimalism will take over classic constructions in future because the lack of details can spare more vital space. Perhaps, public transport will eventually fly because streets will not room so many vehicles at

The Petronas Towers, the Empire State Building, the Pantheon, and the Cologne Cathedral have one thing in common. All of them are extraordinary huge buildings designed to highlight the might of the state that erected them. Many of the constructions withstood the test of time and are the prior destinations for thousands of tourists. For centuries, people created colossal buildings and monuments to impress their neighbors. Although superiority is not a virtue, we keep on constructing grand skyscrapers that once were a dream of humankind. After all, towers are fascinating constructions that turn into landmarks of their cities. Creating a

Sustainable design is a spectacular achievement of the present-day architecture. High-tech buildings look appealing to many people because they can generate energy and utilize it efficiently. Architects of the 20th century had no solar panels or lithium batteries and could not use renewable energy as we do it today. Which is more, many common materials, like concrete or glass, were different back then, and they could not insulate heat so effectively. It seems the sustainability of high-tech construction goes without saying. Nevertheless, some architects would argue that old buildings are safer for humans and the environment than current trends. Restoration
