I feel like even if I went to go get an objective source there would some kind of corporatocracy/government/AI/revolving door cover up on the quality of rainwater today if I tried through like google. I don’t know, I just feel things are so bad environmentally even the wilderness is being doused with acid rain and only acid rain whenever it does get rain. Can anyone shed some light on this? I might be wrong and it may be panicky emotional reasoning, but this is where I’m at for what it’s worth.
This is something easily testable. You can buy a cheap yet accurate pH tester online. The next time it rains, pull a sample and test the pH. If it’s less than 7, then it’s acidic. The lower the pH, the stronger the acid. The thing is, even purified water is listed in the USP (United States Pharmecopia) has having an allowable pH range of 5 - 8. Reason being that typically any acidity or basicity present is going to be easily neutralized with exposure to air.
