Question

which of the following damaging substances is released to surrounding waters by acidified soils? ozone aluminum and other metal ions helium carbon dioxide

Explanation:

When soils become acidified, chemical reactions occur. Acidic conditions can dissolve certain substances in the soil. Aluminum and other metal ions are released from the soil matrix into the surrounding waters. Ozone is a gas in the atmosphere and not typically released from acidified soils to water in this context. Helium is a noble gas and not involved in such soil - water release due to acidification. Carbon dioxide can be related to soil respiration but not in the same damaging ion - release mechanism as acidified soils releasing metal ions.

Answer:

aluminum and other metal ions
