Acid Rain Acid rain occurs when Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is released into the atmosphere by electricity generation‚ motor vehicles‚ factories and by wildfires and volcanoes. Once released‚ the sulphur dioxide reacts with water to produce sulphuric acid. This has a pH of approximately 2-3 pH. This has a dramatic effect on water dwelling wildlife.
