Turns the air a hazy reddish brown! Makes your eyes sting, gives people who don't have asthma the symptoms of asthma, especially on warm days.

As a form of fixed nitrogen, it'd be a nice fertilizer, once the rain had washed it into the soil.

It is NO2 is a fertilizer and the plants that the farmers plant love it. It accelerates plant growth. It is also made in nature,every time it lightning it will create about 500 lb. NO2 .

It is slightly soluble in rain water forming nitric acid. This will slowly eat away at certain materials.
In the countryside, acid rain is harmful to trees, plants, crops, as well as fish.
