What creates most of our sulfur dioxide acid rain?
Burning of fossil fuels, particularly in power plants and vehicles, is the primary source of sulfur dioxide emissions that lead to acid rain. When sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapor in the atmosphere, it forms sulfuric acid, which can then fall to the ground as acid rain.
Is acid rain a primary pollutant?
Yes
What natural processes can contribute to acid rain?
All rain is slightly acid from natural sources. The primary source of the acidic nature is carbon dioxide which is washed out by the falling drops. A more minor source is sulphur dioxide from volcanic action

Is acid rain a primary air pollution?
Acid rain is a secondary air pollution problem caused by the release of primary pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. When these pollutants combine with water vapor, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the Earth as acid rain.
What is the source of Carbonic acids in swimming pools?

How do compounds that cause acid rain spread from their source?
