Regarding coal and methane: clean means less sulfur content while dirty means more acid-rain-causing sulfur content. For example: East Asia uses mostly dirty coal, hence the higher amounts of [mostly] local acid rain.
Also 'overheard', say 1990: "Germany's famous 'Black Forest' , due to acid rain, has turned black." Further {good news} to this, I recently [2005] heard another report that specifically stated that "this is no longer the case."

How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid?
Burning gasoline and coal releases pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These pollutants can react with water vapor in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can then fall to the Earth's surface as acid rain.
How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid rain?
When gasoline and coal are burned, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere. These gases react with water vapor in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall back to the Earth's surface as acid rain. This acidic rain can harm plant life, water bodies, and buildings.
What are two sources of the gases that produce acid precipitation?
Two sources of the gases that produce acid precipitation are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and gasoline. When these gases combine with water vapor in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can then fall to the ground as acid precipitation.
What is a cause of acid rain from burning coal?
Burning coal releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These compounds can react with water vapor in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.
Is burning of coal a cause of acid precipitation?
Yes, burning coal releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These all combine with rain to form acid rain. Carbon dioxide actually forms a very weak acid rain but the others are more damaging.
How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid?
Burning gasoline and coal releases pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These pollutants can react with water vapor in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can then fall to the Earth's surface as acid rain.
Why is burning lignite coal a problem in Eastern Europe?
it causes acid rain
What acid is the main acid in acid rain?
Sulphuric acid from burning coal.
What is the problem china facing towards acid rain?
Massive and Immense, due to It's burning of dirty [with sulfur] coal.
How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid rain?
When gasoline and coal are burned, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere. These gases react with water vapor in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall back to the Earth's surface as acid rain. This acidic rain can harm plant life, water bodies, and buildings.
What activity leads to acid precipitation?
Burning coal.
Is acid rain a solution?
Acid rain is not a solution but a problem, and can be reduced through use of low sulfur coal, and controlling emissions.
What forms coal oil and gas burning?
acid rain
What produces compounds responsible for causing acid rain?
Burning coal
How does burning contribute to acid rain?
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur
What are two sources of the gases that produce acid precipitation?

When these gases combine with water vapor in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can then fall to the ground as acid precipitation.
What form of weathering forms from coal oil and gas burning?
Acid rain
