Acid rain is primarily caused by air pollution from sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These pollutants are released into the atmosphere from industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. These acids then fall to the ground as acid rain, which can have harmful effects on the environment, including damaging forests, lakes, and buildings.
