Answer»

Excessive release of `CO_2` by burning of fuels like wood and charcoal, cutting of forests and increased animal population
Excessive release of `NO_2` and `SO_2` in ATMOSPHERE by burning of fossil fuel
Excessive release of `NH_3` by industrial plants and COAL gas
Excessive release of CO in atmosphere by incomplete combustion of coke, charcoal and other carbonaceous fuel in paucity of oxygen

Solution :When `SO_2` pollution in AIR is much HIGHER . Sometimes , `SO_2` mixes in the air with small particles of metals near the factories and gets oxidised into sulphur trioxide `SO_3`.These gases are harmful and they react with water to form sulphuric ACID `(H_2SO_4)` or sulphurous acid `(H_2SO_3)` and come down to earth with rain water, it is called acid rain or acid precipitation
