Natural processes such as volcanic eruption, forest fires & biological decomposition of organic matter produce oxides of sulphur & nitrogen.
Man made sources such as power plants, smelting plants, industrial plants, burning of coal & gasoline also release $S{O_2}$ nitrogen oxides & acidic soots. Sulphurdioxide & nitrogen dioxide interact with water vapours in presence of sunlight to form sulphuric acid & nitric acid units.
