A polutted air can contain sulfur oxides (as SO2) which are transformed in sulfuric acid by a reaction with water.
when the sulfurous, sulfuric, or nitric acids in polluted air react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves.
acid precipatation
When sulfuric acid is heated, it decomposes into sulfur trioxide and water vapor. Sulfur trioxide then reacts with water in the air to form sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide.
The smell of sulfuric acid can linger in the air for several hours to a few days, depending on factors such as ventilation and concentration.
Acid Rain happens whenever the air has been recently polluted
Yes, sulfuric acid can contribute to air pollution when it is released into the atmosphere. It can react with other compounds to form sulfur dioxide, which is a common air pollutant known to contribute to acid rain and respiratory issues.

Sulfuric Acid is an oxoacid of sulfur and is made of Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen. It is produced by burning sulfur in air to produce Sulfur Dioxide, and then oxidizing the Sulfur Dioxide to Sulfur Trioxide. Sulfuric Acid can then be made from Sulfur Trioxide.
Polluted air contains oxides of sulfur, which dissolve in water to form stronger (more ionized) acids than the carbonic acid from which carbonates are derived. Therefore, the sulfuric and/or sulfurous acids formed by water and polluted air displace the carbonates as carbon dioxide, according to the ionic equation (for sulfuric acid): CO3-2 + H2SO4 -> SO4-2 + H2O + CO2.
the secretion of sulfuric acid in the air
Acid rain
A sample of air is passed through concentrated sulfuric acid to remove moisture. Sulfuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent that can absorb water vapor from the air, allowing for the collection of a dry sample that is free from moisture.
