Acid Rain
Rain is naturally acidic however acid rain contains more acid than normal. Acid Rain is formed when nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Acid Rain is sometimes strong enough to damage the surfaces of buildings and statues. Acid Rain also harms lakes and ponds to the point where it makes it hard for animals to survive in it or for animals to drink it.

The difference between my type pollution and yours is very different.Photochemical smog, is a mixture of pollutants from factories and cars mixing with the sunlight and creates a brownish haze in the air. Acid rain, is pollutants mixing with rain creating acid rain.
Acid rain and London smog are different in many ways. The causes are different your are sulfuric oxides and nitrogen oxides and water. Mine is caused by coal and humidity. Ours are the same because you have to just decrease were it comes from to make it go away. That is how acid rain and London smog are the same and different.
