  • Sulphur and nitrogen particles that mix with the wet elements of rain are the main causes in the production of acid rain.
  • Due to air pollutants, notably the excessive levels of sulphur and nitrogen released by machinery and industrial operations, acid rain is made up of water droplets that are extremely acidic.
  • The emissions that are released from industries are man-made causes.
  • The natural causes, such as lightning strikes in the atmosphere that release nitrogen oxides and volcanic eruptions that release sulphur oxide.
