Acid rain is primarily caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. These pollutants are released from burning fossil fuels, industrial activities, and vehicle emissions. The problem of acid rain started to become recognized in the mid-20th century as the emissions of these pollutants increased.
