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

Science one world essay – Acid Rain Acid rain has been an important global issue for centuries. Although most acid rain is caused by human activities‚ some acid rain occurs naturally. An example of natural acid rain is erupting volcanos‚ they give off smoke containing water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ sulphur dioxide and nitrogen compounds. The sulphur dioxide and nitrogen compounds cause small amounts of acid rain near the volcano. Pure water is not an acid‚ but even clean rainwater is slightly acidic
