HCL acid does not mean “your insides will melt and leak”.
Look at your medicine cabinet, half the pills there use HCL acid for HCL salt.
Same with radiation. Articles that scare us with “Soviet submarine found in lake, leaking 800,000 times the normal radiation!”
Meanwhile it’s because the “normal”, baseline, level is 0.0001 and 800,000 times that is still less than the background radiation in Denver and several times less than a plane.
Rain is already acidic, and unless the concentration is high enough to alter it significantly, that’s not armageddon. Be more worried about mega corporations dumping all their toxic waste in Ohio rivers, while calling for you to turn off the lights.
