so2 sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide, or SO2, is a chemical which may not be good for our health or for the environment. It is a familiar air pollutant, produced by sources like factories and power plants. When SO2 is released into the air, it can form other types of pollution, such as acid rain. Plants, animals and buildings can be harmed by acid rain. There are solutions to reduce SO2 and to help our environment.

It is not good for us to breathe sulphur dioxide. It can also cause our noses, throats and lungs to be irritated. And this is particularly said for asthamatic people or those who have some breathing problems. Such exposure can lead to serious health problems, such as heart and lung diseases. That’s where being able to measure SO2 levels in the air and reduce emissions is crucial.

A common air pollutant from industrial sources

A lot of SO2 enters the air from factories, such as coal-burning power plants and oil refineries. When fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, are burned, they form sulphur dioxide. This contaminant may also travel long distances on airborne pathways to fall to earth or water. This can contribute to the formation of acid rain and harm the environment.
