Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum contain small amounts of oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulphur, which are primarily responsible for acid rain.

  • On burning fossil fuels, with carbon-di-oxides gas, oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are also released.
  • These oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are responsible for acid rain.
  • NO₂ and SO₂ are the major oxides that are major air pollutants.
  • These oxides when coming in contact with rainwater, form nitric acid and sulphuric acid.
  • These acids make the pH of rain acidic, therefore primarily responsible for acid rain.
