Fossil fuel in general contributes most to acid rain due to CO2 react with water and form carbonic acid.
In the past few decades, it is say that coal contribute more of acid rain due to high sulphur contents. With reducing use of coal for direct heating and recovery of SOx to gypsum, the emission of SOx to atmosphere is likely to be less than the SOx and NOx emission from gasoline and diesel use in vehicle.
what contributes to help cause both acid rain in germany and smog in the united
Acid rain is acidic by certain pollutants in the air like, carbon monoxide/ dioxide.
the reactions of nonmetal oxides with water.
No.
wind energy
In the US its New York
It does not.
Acid rain does most damage to inner city area to stone buildings and other structures.
Coal and oil release sulfur dioxide gas when they burn, which causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.
Acid Rain.
The primary cause of acid rain is the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. These emissions combine with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
