Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.
main acid in this are sulphuric acid , nitric acid
Sulphuric acid results from oxides of sulphur from fossil fuel power plants that react with water in air to form sulphuric acid.
Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms.

Rain is always slightly acidic because it mixes with naturally occurring oxides in the air. Unpolluted rain would have a pH value of between 5 and 6. When the air becomes more polluted with nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide the acidity can increase to a pH value of 4.
