Abstract

The present research experimentally outlines the reaction of a Monstera deliciosa plants to the effects of acid rain at various pH levels. Sulfuric acid was used to simulate acid rain, with prepared solutions having four different pH values. Paper chromatography showed that the plant’s pigment begins splitting more and the chlorophyll further deteriorated. The plants also started to lose their ability to be soluble. Through spectrophotometry, plants with the lowest pH levels of acid were losing their capacity to absorb light and radiation more quickly since their absorbance values were lower.
