Is car exhaust a primary pollutant What about acid precipitation or smoke from a factory or fumes from burning plastic?
A primary pollutant is emitted directly into the atmosphere, so exhaust, smoke and fumes are all primary pollutants. Acid rain is a secondary pollutant.
Why is Sulfur Dioxide considered a pollutant?
Its reactions in the air are responsible for acid rain and photochemical smog
Is carbon dioxide air pollution why?
Carbon dioxide is not an air pollutant. However excessive carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere is a pollutant as it contributes to acid rain
Is acid rain an outdoor pollutant?

How does the acidity of acid rain compared to the acidity of natural rainwater?
Natural rainwater has a pH of around 5.6. I believe rain is considered to be "acid rain" when it has a pH of 5.0 or below.
Why does Calcium carbonate dissolve in rain water - when it is insoluble in pure water?
Rain water is not pure H2O. Even under natural conditions, rain water can contain carbonic acid (due to CO2), and lightning can cause the creation of nitric acid. So these acids can attack calcium carbonate even in unpolluted rainwater.Additionally, the rainwater might be polluted with even stronger acidic compounds. Sulfuric acid, for example, is a common pollutant of rain water.
