The most important gas which leads to acidification is sulfur dioxide. Emissions of nitrogen oxides which are oxidised to form Nitric acid are of increasing importance due to stricter controls on emissions of sulfur containing compounds. 70 Tg(S) per year in the form of SO2 comes from fossil fuel combustion and industry, 2.8 Tg(S) from wildfires and 7-8 Tg(S) per year from volcanoes.

most of the acid is either
nitric acid or sulfuric acid.
pollution increases the sulfuric acid levels.
these can cause lakes to "die" and also cause structural damage to buildings and statues...
