  • Acid rain results when sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. 
  • The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulphuric and nitric acids. 
  • These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.
