Acid rain (acid deposition).
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx, e.g. NO2) react with water (and oxidants) in the atmosphere to form acids — mainly sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO3) (and some sulfurous/nitrous acids). These dissolve in rain, fog, or snow and cause acid precipitation.
