    Acid rain is caused by pollution from vehicles, factories, and electric utilities. The pollution contains nitric acid and sulfuric acid which falls as rain. Acid rain harms fish and wildlife. Brown trout eggs do not develop normally in more acidic water with a pH of 4.6, while they develop fine in less acidic water with a pH of 5.5. The main sources of the pollution that causes acid rain are cars and trucks which emit 25.2 million tons of nitric acid rain per year, and factories which emit 19.5 million tons of sulfuric acid rain per year.
