See explaination

Explanation:

When the air is polluted, a hixture of harmful gaseous compounds are released into the atmosphere. These gases include sulfur dioxide and various other oxides of nitrogen. These gases, once released into the air, mix with the gases of air and collectively condense with water (from bodies of water like lakes, rivers etc. which are evaporated initially) to form clouds. So, when it rains, the water that is poured out is acidic causing acid rain due to pollution.
