Acid rain is mainly caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), which react with water in the atmosphere to form acidic compounds. Power plants, especially those burning fossil fuels like coal, release large amounts of these pollutants. Pet animal waste, accidental lab acid spills, and residential gardens do not contribute significantly to widespread acid rain formation.
