There are two:
* Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
* Nitrogen oxides
Unfortunately, in our atmosphere, there are toxic particles. These particles are a combination of fossil fuels, chemical sprays and other toxins that come out of many factory smoke stacks. When a storm is forming, droplets of water encase some of these toxins and bring them back down as acid rain.

What can pollution gases produced by factories and automobiles cause?
acid rain
What gas is dissolved in acid rain that causes it to be acidic?
Two gases are the main cause of acidic rain. Sulfurdioxide (SO2) is a gas that is converted into Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the air. Another gas is NO2 (nitrogendioxide) which is converted into Nitric acid (HNO3) in the air.
Can smoke from factories cause acid rain?
Smoke from factories and vehicle pollution is the main cause of acid rain. The pollutants merges with rain and the rain becomes acidic.
What are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides?
They are air polluting gases and main causes of acid rain
What occurrence is a major source of gases that can produce acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the chief source of the gases that produce acid rain.
Do cow gases cause acid rain?
No.
What can pollution gases produced by factories and automobiles cause?
acid rain
Pollution gases produced by factories and automobiles can cause?
acid rain
Which acidic gases can cause polluted rain?
Refer to the related link for an EPA article on acid rain.
Why acid rain forms?
Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by pollution. The main cause industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, the waste gases from these contain sulphur and nitrogen oxides which combine with atmospheric water to form acids.

Two gases are the main cause of acidic rain. Sulfurdioxide (SO2) is a gas that is converted into Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the air. Another gas is NO2 (nitrogendioxide) which is converted into Nitric acid (HNO3) in the air.
Can smoke from factories cause acid rain?
Smoke from factories and vehicle pollution is the main cause of acid rain. The pollutants merges with rain and the rain becomes acidic.
Do landfills cause acid rain?
Not really - the gases they give off are mainly methane.
What are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides?
They are air polluting gases and main causes of acid rain
Which gases in the air cause acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the primary gasses.
Do nitrates cause acid rain?
yes it can.Infact the main contributors to acid rain are NOx and SOX..
Which acids cause the pH of rain to drop significantly?
The main acids which cause rain to become acidic are nitric acid (HNO3) and sulphuric acid (H2SO4). These result from the gases NO2 and SO2 which can result from certain types of combustion in internal combustion engines or in electric power plants that burn coal.
