water reacts with oxides of nitrogen to form nitric acid(HNO3) which causes acid rain.
Oxides of nitrogen are formed by vehicle exhausts, and other sources of air pollutants, and when atmospheric nitrogen combines with oxygen during lightening.
These oxides combine with rain drops and make rain acidic.

Why nitrogen preferred over carbon dioxide as propellant in DCP fire fighting system?
Carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Nitrogen is used by the plants. When you use carbon dioxide as a propellant,it adds more pollution or makes greenhouse effect worse....
