Some gases present in acid rain
* Sulphur dioxide, SO2 * Nitrogen oxide, NO * Nitrogen dioxide, NO2 * Carbon dioxide, CO2 (in excess amounts)
The abovementioned gases are acidic in the sense that when they dissolve in water, they will react to form acids. For example, sulphur dioxide when released into the atmosphere will eventually be oxidised such that it forms sulphuric acid, H2SO4.
The gases originate from both man-made and natural sources. Man-made sources * Vehicles. The combustion of fuel produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen (NO / NO2). * Coal factories. Coal contains carbon, which when combusted gives rise to carbon dioxide. There are also impurities like sulphur, which are oxidised to form sulphur dioxide during the burning process.
Natural sources
* Volcano eruptions. Large volumes of gases such as sulphur dioxide are expelled into the air when this takes place.
Note: These are but a few (very few, actually) examples.
The industrial gas industry differs from many other types of manufacturing because its raw materials are primarily extracted from the atmosphere. The two principal gases produced by the industry are nitrogen and oxygen.
CO2 is taken in by the plants from the atmosphere and O2 is released during photosynthesis.
The mixture of gases in the atmosphere are a solution of gases. Since nitrogen makes up 78% of the gases in the atmosphere, it is the solvent and the other gases are the solutes.
Hydrocarbons are the ones that release unburned carbons. These form greenhouse gases. These gases causes ozone depletion.
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)

There are various gases that are released into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are three of them.
Volcanic eruptions, they produced a lot of carbon dioxide which made up the early atmosphere.
In an open cycle gas turbine, the gases that are produced by combustion go directly into the atmosphere, though the heat produced can sometimes be reclaimed. In a closed cycle gas turbine, the gases produced are reused and are not emitted into the atmosphere.
Because after burning gases are released in the atmosphere.

After many years, as rocks are eroded, gases trapped in them will be released into the atmosphere so in a way rocks are "storage rooms" for gases just as our Earth is.
