Acid rian is due prmarily to the interaction of SO2 and NO2 with moisture in the air.

The gas phase sulfur dioxide is oxidized by reaction with the hydroxyl radical via an intermolecular reaction. SO2 + OH· → HOSO2·

which is followed by: HOSO2· + O2 → HO2· + SO3

In the presence of water, sulfur trioxide (SO3) is converted rapidly to sulfuric acid: SO3 (g) + H2O (l) → H2SO4 (l)

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with OH to form nitric acid: NO2 + OH· → HNO3
