3.1 Properties of sulfur dioxide
Sulfur dioxide SO 2 is a weakly acidic gaseous compound, emitted into the atmosphere during the combustion of products containing sulfur in varying proportions: biomass, oil, coal. It gradually oxidizes in the atmosphere and leads, in the presence of water, to sulfuric acid, the major culprit in atmospheric acidity and respiratory irritation. SO 2 is a respiratory irritant but, at usual atmospheric concentrations, it is above all its oxidation derivative, sulfuric acid, that presents environmental risks. The responsibility of SO 2 in air pollution has been identified for over 50 years, and it has long been measured...
