What is the main source of sulfur dioxide?

Volcanic eruptions and burning of sulfur containing coals.


What does sulfar do?

sulfur is a volcanic rock; it doesn't "do" anything other than be a rock.


What makes a sulfur smell?

The warm low oxygen atmospheres of wells can promote the growth of sulfur-reducing bacteria. A sulfur smell in tap water indicates a sulfur bacteria contamination in the residential water supply or treatment systems. The actual source of the odor is hydrogen sulfide gas, which is colorless with a foul egg odor. Also known as sewer gas, it is the waste product of sulfur digestion by sulfur-reducing bacteria. This bacteria thrives in oxygen-deficient and warm environments such as hot water heater tanks, water softener systems, wells and underground where groundwater may flow. The presence of hydrogen sulfide gas and sulfur bacteria can cause some mild health hazards and property damage. Treatment of sulfur bacteria contamination is dependent upon determining the source.


Is sulfur in organic fertilizer?

Yes, elemental sulfur, sometimes called "flowers of sulfur", is an acceptable organic soil amendment under the U.S. National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines. It's used to reduce soil pH, which makes phosphorous, iron, zinc, and other minerals more available to plants. Sulfur works by increasing populations of Thiobacillus bacteria in the soil. The bacteria multiply to break down the sulfur and release dilute sulfuric acid into the soil, lowering its pH. Because it requires bacteria to break it down, the sulfur needs to be mixed into the soil, so it's in contact with the bacteria. If it's not mixed in, you'll have strongly acidic areas around blobs of sulfur near the surface, and no effect elsewhere in the soil Sulfur only works in warm (summer) soil temperatures, and it takes 1-3 months to have an effect, so it's not a quick-fix.


How is sulfur dioxide used in the modern world?

One use of sulfur dioxide is as a food preservative (by killing bacteria).
