Some blame the burning of coal for producing acid rain but it is actually a combination of pollutants.
I think the answer to your other uestion would be the ozone layer.

see wikipedia- acid rain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain
Chemistry in cloud droplets
When clouds are present the loss rate of SO2 is faster than can be explained by gas phase chemistry alone. This is due to reactions in the liquid water droplets
Hydrolysis
Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water and then, like carbon dioxide, hydrolyses in a series of equilibrium reactions:
SO2 (g)+ H2O â SO2·H2O
SO2·H2O â H++HSO3-
HSO3- â H++SO32-
Oxidation
There are a large number of aqueous reactions of sulfur which oxidise it from S(IV) to S(VI) leading to the formation of sulfuric acid. The most important oxidation reactions are with ozone, hydrogen peroxide and oxygen (reactions with oxygen are catalysed by Iron and Manganese in the cloud droplets).

Acid rain, sulfides/sulfiyes and nitrous oxides in the air react with H20 to form acids
