How do ship emissions contribute to ocean acidification?

• Ship emissions release methane, which can react with water to form acid rain

• Ship emissions release carbon dioxide, which can react with water to form acid rain

• Ship emissions release oxygen and hydrogen, which can react with water to form acid rain

• Ship emissions release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, contributing to ocean acidification.
