Detailed explanation-1: -Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -When it comes to the problem of acid rain, Germany is its own worst enemy. The main sources of acid rain are smoke from factories and cars. Factories burn fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, and oil. This adds to acid rain through auto emissions.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the main causes of air pollution in Germany? Themain causes of air pollution in Germany are road traffic, emissions from powerstations, industrial processes (including solvent emissions), heating with fossilfuels, agriculture and waste treatment. The main sources of air pollution aremainly anthropogenic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Power plants release the majority of sulfur dioxide and much of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce electricity. In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants cause acid rain.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pollutantsproduced are ammonia (NH3), NOx, VOC, PMx and hexachlorobenzene(HCB). Due to the high negative impact of farms, many different directives havebeen adopted to protect the environment and improve air quality. A highproportion of air pollution in Germany comes from road traffic.
