Nitrogen oxides
Acid rain is caused mainly by emissions of sulphur dioxide \((\text{SO}_2)\) and nitrogen oxides \((\text{NO}_x)\) from burning fossil fuels in power plants, vehicles, and industries.
In the atmosphere these gases react with water and oxygen to form sulphuric acid \((\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4)\) and nitric acid \((\text{HNO}_3)\), which fall as acid rain. Carbon dioxide produces only weak carbonic acid; carbon monoxide and oxygen are not acid-rain precursors.
