The option that is MOST LIKELY a contributor to "acid rain" is power plants that burn coal.
Pollution of our environment produces consequences. The rain that comes with acid components is what scientists call acid rain. This is not good for the environment because it comes with substances such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid. When fabric, industries, and human activities polluted the air, it produces nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide that stays in the atmosphere and comes back to the surface of the Eart when it rains. Most of these components are produced by the burning of fossil fuels. So we better change to alternative energies and help to protect our environment.
