What chemicals are found in acid rain?

In the simplest sense it is rainwater full of contaminants.Acid precipitation is rain (or other precipitation) that is unusually acidic ( has a pH below 6). The main pollutants that cause this problem are sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) . These combine with water in the atmosphere to produce Sulfurous and Sulphuric Acid, and Nitrous and Nitric Acid. * Acid rain is a product of gaseous air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NO3), hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia and hydrocarbon. It is a mixture of sulphuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. In other words, rainfall that has a pH lower than 5.6 is determined as acid rain. * When fuels such as coal, oil and petrol are burned they release sulphur dioxide and other gases into the air. These gases dissolve in droplets of moisture in the atmosphere and eventually produce an acid rain. * acid rain is a reaction between sulfur or nitrogen and water vapour found in the atmosphere.Together, they create an acidic compound which falls on earth. It deteriorates calcium carbonate. In addition, Plants use the toxic rain water in osmosis which kills the plant and harms whatever eats it.
