Does acid rain corrode human skin?

Acid rain is weakly acidic rain, caused by atmospheric emissions such as sulfur dioxide, which may corrode human skin.
Acid rain contains large amounts of sulfides and chlorides. When human skin comes into contact with such substances, it will destroy the skin’s protective film and gradually erode the skin structure, leading to significant itching of the patient’s skin, and it will be obvious that the skin will become abnormally dry after being drenched in the rain, which may even lead to cracking of the skin.
Therefore, in daily life, it is recommended to take proper protection on a daily basis. If you are inadvertently drenched by acid rain, it is recommended that you rinse it off with water in a timely manner. If you experience any discomfort such as redness, dryness and itching of the skin, it is recommended that you go to the dermatology department immediately for standardized treatment.
