Acid Rain Air pollution is one of the most common outcomes of the combustion of fossil fuels. A common air pollutant that is released is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This is because when coal and fuels obtained from crude oil are burned‚ sulpur and nitrogen is released into the atmosphere‚ which is eventually joint with the oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. When these gases are emitted in sufficient quantities‚ it reacts with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere

It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals and infrastructure.

In fact‚ what seems to be a simple tale of an American couple spending a rainy afternoon inside their hotel room serves as a great metaphor for their relationship
