How can acid rain derived from sulphur arise?

Burning fossil fuels with sulphur based impurities produces sulphur dioxide -> sulphur dioxide ACIDIC GAS. Reacts with water in atmosphere to form sulfuric acid which falls as acid rain.

How can acid rain derived from nitrogen arise?

Nitrogen and oxygen heated in engine and react to produce nitrogen dioxide -> nitrogen oxides are ACIDIC. They dissolve in water to form nitric acid which contributes to acid rain.
