What are the results?

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is a colorless reactive gas that is odorless at low concentrations, but pungent at very high concentrations. It is formed by burning sulfur-containing material, such as coal or diesel fuel, or by processing sulfur-containing clays. SO₂ consists of one sulfur atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Sulfur dioxide contributes to the formation of acid rain. What is acid rain?
