The principal cause of acid rain is fossil fuel combustion resulting in the emission of sulfur and nitrogen oxide. Over a period of one or two days, through reaction with oxygen during atmospheric transport, these oxides are transformed into acids that make precipitation acidic. 5, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20transport

Le transport atmosphérique joue un rôle crucial dans le phénomène de l'acidification dans l'Est du Canada, puisque la plupart des régions renfermant des récepteurs sensibles se situent à des distances considérables des sources de substances acides et acidifiantes et autres polluants. 4, record 1, French, - transport%20atmosph%C3%A9rique

To understand the problem, it is also necessary to understand Long-Range Transport of Air Pollutants (LRTAP). LRTAP refers to the transport of pollutants by the winds over long distances, hundreds and even thousands of kilometres. These pollutants, moving long distances through the atmosphere are transformed into secondary products which then react chemically with the water vapor in the atmosphere and the result is acidic water vapor. 1, record 2, English, - long%2Drange%20transport%20of%20air%20pollutants
