Acid Rain
http://www.epa.gov/acidrain/what/index.html
Acid Rain is mainly caused by Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide particulates/gasses mixing with water vapors and oxygen above our heads. The result of this solution is a mild sulfuric acid and mild nitric acid.
Where these emissions come from are mainly Electric power generation plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, i.e. coal, to produce electricity. Emissions = smoke/gasses from power plants
Acid rain can also become acid fog, snow, mist. This evidentially affects the ecosystem that is reliant on the water.ie trees, fish, ECT.
