Others then, decaying vegetation, wildfires and even some biological processes produce acid rain, which forms gases.
Man-made causes: Air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are emitted due to human activities are also considered as contributes to acid rain.
Industries, power plants, and automobiles are major sources of SO2 and NO2.
In further blogs are are try to understand its effects and some solutions to reduce acid rain.
