Gases: Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
Source of Acid Rain: These two gases mix with rainwater and fall to the ground as acid rain.
Formation of Acid Rain: Acid rain forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere combine with water to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, respectively. These acids, mixed with rainwater, fall to Earth as acid rain, snow or fog and can acidify lakes and streams in the Northeast.
