some European and Asian countries. Its major cause or source is
(a) Discharge of acidic effluents onto neutral or slightly

(b) Emissions of sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides from
thermal power plants and burning of fossil fuels; these
oxides dissolve in atmospheric water vapour and fall back on
earth as acid rain
