Acidification- in the gas phase this process happens when compounds like nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides are converted in a chemical reaction in the gas phase or in clouds into acidic substances. These acids are rained-out or dry deposited.
The acid is the result of pollution caused mostly by sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides that are discharged into the atmosphere by industry.
Any form of precipitation that carries chemicals (mainly sulphur oxides, sulphates, nitrogen oxides and nitrates, and ammonium compounds) that may cause acidification of surface waters, soils and ecosystems.
