One reason that applies to all the oxides of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen is that they contribute to the formation of acid rain, which harms ecosystems, damages buildings, and affects water and soil quality. These oxides react with water in the atmosphere to form acids (e.g., sulfuric acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid), which then fall as acid rain, negatively impacting the environment and human-made structures.
