Sulphur dioxide is a gaseous air pollutant produced by burning fossil fuels containing sulphur. It reacts with water and atmospheric oxygen to form sulfuric acid, which falls back to the earth as acid rain. Acid rain can cause significant damage to forests, crops, and buildings. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide do not directly contribute to the formation of acid rain.
