Exhaust from motor vehicles emits pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), which can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acidic compounds like nitric and sulfuric acids. When these acids mix with rainwater, they lower the pH of the rain, leading to "acid rain." This can have detrimental effects on ecosystems, soil, and water bodies, harming plants, aquatic life, and infrastructure.
