Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions ( low pH ).

Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.

" Acid rain " is a popular term referring to the deposition of wet ( rain, snow, sleet, fog, cloudwater, and dew ) and dry ( acidifying particles and gases ) acidic components.

Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms as well as causing damage to buildings and having impacts on human health.

Acid rain has eliminated insect life and some fish species, including the brook trout in some lakes, streams, and creeks in geographically sensitive areas, such as the Adirondack Mountains of the United States.

Acid rain does not directly affect human health.

Acid rain also increases the corrosion rate of metals, in particular iron, steel, copper and bronze.

The overall goal of the Acid Rain Program established by the Act is to achieve significant environmental and public health benefits through reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide ( SO < sub > 2 </ sub >) and nitrogen oxides ( NO < sub > x </ sub >), the primary causes of acid rain.

Acid rain occurs when gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are present in the atmosphere.

The most common form uses methanol ( converted to sodium methoxide ) to produce methyl esters ( commonly referred to as Fatty Acid Methyl Ester-FAME ) as it is the cheapest alcohol available, though ethanol can be used to produce an ethyl ester ( commonly referred to as Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester-FAEE ) biodiesel and higher alcohols such as isopropanol and butanol have also been used.
