False

Nitrogen and sulfur dioxide are acidic oxides in nature. The burning of fossil fuels and other sources are responsible for addition of these oxides in the atmosphere of earth. These oxides mixed with water vapor causes acid rain. Being acidic in nature they will have low pH value. Therefore, greater the concentration of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, will lower the pH value of precipitation.

hope this helps:)sorry if it doesnt
