Some folks think acid rain comes like a swarm of bees or a meteor shower in an old scifi movie. It isn't that way. Acid rain is rainwater tat has become slightly more acidic than normal rain due to the presence of nitrogen and sufur compounds. The pH of "normal" rain is 5.0. ranging from 5.6 to a low of 4.5. In the northeastern US averages to be 4.2.
There isn't anything to flee from, but pHs of this level can harm fish and leach metals from soils over several years.

What does rain form from the air?
Rain can dissolve gases including pollutants as it falls through the air. In normal conditions, dissolved carbon dioxide makes rain slightly acidic. In severe cases, "acid rain" can include sulfuric acid (from sulfur dioxide) and nitric acid (from nitrogen oxides), the gases coming mainly from fossil fuel emissions.
How is vegetation affected by acid rain?
Acid rain can harm vegetation by altering the pH of the soil, making it more acidic. This can lead to nutrient imbalances, reduced nutrient uptake, and overall stress on plants. It can also damage plant leaves and inhibit photosynthesis, which affects growth and productivity.
Is acid rain a natural pollutant?
no, not really. acid rain has pollutants in it, but acid rain itself is not a pollutant
