Sulfur dioxide
* Most sulfur dioxide causes breathe problems
  - health problems
  - comes from the combustion of oil and coal
* Some sulfur dioxide kills animals.
* acts very similar to water on earth.
* affects respiratory systems and aggravates cardiovascular disease.
* are also responsible for the formation of acid deposition.
* becomes acid rain when it mixes with moisture in the atmosphere
  - sulfuric acid, and oxides of nitrogen become nitric acid
* belongs to the family of sulfur oxide gases.
* can affect the respiratory tract as well as vegetation and other materials
  - also cause irritation of skin and eyes
  - cause nose and throat irritation and lung problems such as bronchitis
  - corrode lung tissue if inhaled
  - have a short-term effect on the weather
* can irritate the eyes, nose and respiratory tract
  - respiratory system and damage the heart and circulatory system
* causes a scorching around leaf edges initially.
* causes acid rain that can damage buildings, and kill plants and aquatic animals
  - rain, which causes death among fish and other wild life
  - dry, dead areas to from at the leaf margins and between veins
* colorless gas that has the odor of burning sulfur
  - with a very stink odors
* comes from combustion of fuel with high sulfur content
  - natural and human sources
  - the combustion of fuel containing sulfur, mostly coal and oil
  - mostly from burning coal and oil to generate electricity
* contributes to acid rain
  - the formation of particulate emissions
* dangerous component in atmospheric air pollution.
* forms fine particulate pollution and causes acid rain.
  - and sulfate particulate solid
* gas commonly emitted by volcanoes
  - released in volcanic eruptions
  - produced by burning coal, most notably in power plants
* has a sharp pungent smell that istoxic in small amounts
  - very obvious strong, choking odor
* helps control native yeast and bacteria
  - the growth of microorganisms, and it reduces the effects of oxidation
* irritates the eyes, nose, and the respiratory tract at low levels of exposure.
* is added to wine to help control microbiological activity
  - also the major component of acid rain
  - an irritant
  - believed to be a major contributor to acid rain
  - chemical compounds
  - classified as a point-source pollutant
* is converted into sulfate aerosol in the atmosphere
  - aerosols when emitted into the air
  - particles, and it gets real hazy
  - created from the sulfur content in the fuel when the gasoline is combusted
  - emitted from burning coal and produces sulfuric acid
* is formed by the combustion of fuels containing sulfur compounds
  - during one part of the basic aluminum production process
  - highly soluble in water, resulting in the formation of sulfurous acid
* is linked to acid rain and other environmental problems
  - respiratory disease and premature death
  - most toxic when combined with small particles and moisture
* is one of the main gases released during a volcanic eruption
  - most significant pollutants in the atmosphere
  - primarily the product of industrial burning of fossil fuels
* is produced by combustion of sulfur-containing fuels, such as coal and fuel oils
  - whenever sulfur-containing compounds are burnt
* is released during fossil fuel combustion
  - when sulfur-containing fuels like coal and oil are burned
* is the leading cause of acid rain, which threatens lakes and waterways
  - component in acid rain
  - primary constituent of a thin atmosphere on Io
  - principal component of acid rain
  - result of burning coal and oil
  - used in conjunction with chlorine at wastewater treatment plants
  - very corrosive to stone, paint, and metals
* leads to acid rain, which can spread to the water as well
  - damages water, forests, and human habitats
* major cause of deadly particulate pollution known as soot
  - culprit
* plays an important role in the production of acid rain.
* preservative that, being a gas, is dissolved in water to yield sulfurous acid.
* prevents the discolorations of foods by combining with the sugars and enzymes.
* produces fine particulate matter and acid rain.
* product of fossil fuel combustion, such as the burning of oil or coal.
* reacts in the atmosphere to form acid rain.
* reacts with lime to form solid calcium sulfite
  - oxygen, sunlight and moisture to form sulfuric acid and aerosols
  - water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid
* very toxic, irritating gas with an odor similar to burning sulfur.
