Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

Sulfur Dioxide is formed during the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. The major sources in release of sulfur compounds are power generating plants, utility boilers and chemical processing plants. SO2 reacts with rainwater causing "acid rain" in the eastern United States which can damage forests and lakes, as well as man-made structures such as buildings and bridges.
