Fossil fuels genesis

Fig. 9. Genesis of acid tain (13). From the oxidation of C, S, and N during the combustion of fossil fuels, there is a buildup in the atmosphere (gas phase, aerosol particles, raindrops, snowflakes, and fog) of CO2 and the oxides of S and N, which leads to acid—base interaction. The importance of absorption of gases into the various phases of gas, aerosol, and atmospheric water depends on a number of factors. The genesis of acid rain is shown on the upper right as an acid—base titration. The data given are representative of the environment in the vicinity of Zurich, Switzedand.
