Is this accelerating with our industrialisation?

Yes, it is, Philip. Acid rain has always occured naturally but has become more concentrated in the post-industrial era. There is some useful information about rain and weathering on the British Geological Society website with explanatory videos – https://www.bgs.ac.uk/discoveringGeology/geologyOfBritain/limestoneLandscapes/whatIsLimestone/weathering.html
