And what can be done to stop it?

CHINA HAS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ACID RAIN IN THE WORLD.
to stop acid deposition which consits of acid rain, snow, or gas with a pH lower than 5.6, we need to stop emitting nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide which transform into sulfuric acid and nitric acid in the atmosphere.
hope that helps

Rain falling through the atmosphere of polluted cities, picks up the pollution in the air. This rain is therefore contaminated with particles of acid. Over time, as the rain strikes monuments, building facades, etc, it goes dissolving them.

downwind of anything that puts sulfur or nitrogen oxides in to the air. There is some from CO2, as well, especially downwind of volcanoes (check out the fossil beds near Ord, NE or northeast of Mt St. Helens).

In all industrial countries. China and Russia in particular have a bad problem.

At high altitudes or around heavy industry.
Cut down on industry and automobile emissions.
