## Page 35 As a result of atmospheric pollution, industrial emissions, and various natural processes, sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) reach the atmosphere and react with oxygen and cloud water to form sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) and nitric acid (HNO₃), respectively, and then fall on the Earth. This is called acid rain. In acid rain, the amount of sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) is the highest.
