Sulphur dioxide. Causes regional air pollution and acidification.
An acidic gas, which irritates the lungs. The EPAQS standard for SO2 is 100 ppb, averaged over a 15 minute period.
Sulphur Dioxide. Formed during the combustion of fuels containing sulphur (such as oil and coal). Sulphur dioxide contributes to the acidification of soil and water.
sulphur dioxide; a gas that is formed when fuel containing sulphur (mainly coal and oil) is burned. SO2 is responsible for several health issues, as well as being a precursor to acid rain. “technology development agreement” – An agreement to apply one's technology on a partner's engine or vehicle for the purpose of demonstrating performance and emissions capability. It usually precedes a commercialization agreement.
Sulphur dioxide, originates mostly from production of chemical pulp.
Sulphur dioxide. A gas formed when fuels that contain sulphur, such as oil and coal, are burned. Sulphur dioxide contributes to the acidification of soil and water.
sulphur dioxide is formed during the processing and combustion of fossil fuels containing sulphur. It is a colourless gas with a pungent odour, and can be detected by taste and odour at concentrations as low as 300 ppb. Historically SO2 is the main component of acid rain.
compound of sulphur and oxygen which is emitted into the atmosphere by the combustion of fuels containing sulphur, such as coal, diesel oil and fuel oil. It is toxic at high concentrations and contributes to the acidity in rain, resulting in acid rain.
Sulphur dioxide, a colourless gas with a pungent odour, irritates the upper respiratory tract in humans and leads to acid deposition/acid rain.
