Abstract

This study was conducted in the laboratories of the Department of Biology, College of Education for Pure Sciences, in which choosing all kinds of building materials (solid block, hollow block, ordinary bricks, bricks dyed) and collected from block and brick factories. The samples were exposed to acid rain, which was prepared in the laboratory from distilled water and sulfuric acid and dropping it on the samples to know the effect of acid rain on building materials. It was observed after the first experiment, which was inside the laboratory and under controlled weather conditions for a period of 15 days. On a day and at a daily rate of exposure to acid rain, there is erosion and a decrease in the weight of the mentioned samples compared to the weight of the control samples, the highest percentage of corrosion and a decrease in weight were in the solid block sample by 0.145Kg, and the lowest corrosion percentage and a decrease in weight in the dyed brick sample by 0.005Kg. The second experiment was conducted outside the laboratory in which the samples were exposed to different atmospheric conditions and for acid rain for 15 days, with a daily drop rate of 3.7 ml for each sample, and the weight of samples had decreased after exposure to acid rain compared to the weight of samples after the first exposure and the weight of control samples. The highest percentage of erosion and weight loss in the solid block sample was 0.270 Kg, and the lowest percentage of corrosion and a decrease in weight in the dyed brick sample was zero. That mean there were clear effect of acid rain on buildings materials, so it must not left under effect of rains.
