The air we breathe contains sulfur compounds produced by natural processes (volcanoes, fumaroles, aerobic or anaerobic fermentation, etc.) and human activities. The table

shows some of the concentrations of sulfur compounds found in the residual background in the air. These levels are very low. · It is worth noting the seemingly large number of molecules inhaled with each breath. This value should be put into perspective by considering Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10
23
molecules/mol).
