What does sulfur dioxide cause?

Answer 1

Sulphur dioxide causes acid rain which corrodes limestone buildings and statues.

Specifically photochemical reactions with sunlight on dust particles in the atmosphere converts sulphur dioxide (SO2) to sulphur trioxide (SO3), then when sulphur trioxide dissolves in the water (H2O) droplets in clouds it becomes sulphuric acid (H2SO4) a very strong highly corrosive acid. When rain falls from these sulphuric acid clouds as sulphuric acid rain it not only corrodes limestone and marble objects but also corrodes exposed unpainted metal surfaces and kills acid sensitive vegetation. In rare extreme cases the sulphuric acid may be concentrated enough in the rain to cause chemical burns on skin.

Answer 2

Sulfur dioxide is created by the combustion of sulfur, sulfurous fuels (bunker oils, coal), the smelting of sulfide containing ores (pyrites) and the combustion hydrogen sulfide (usually as a waste/safety process).

Sulfur can also be emitted from diesel engines as a sulfate solid.

Sulfur dioxide can exist as a simple compound (SO2) or absorbed in t water as H2SO3

Answer 3

Sulphur dioxide causes a number of effects like wheezing, difficult in breaching and coughing. It affects the lungs significantly and should be avoided at all costs.

Answer 4

sulphur dioxide acts as a pollutant and moreover it is responsible for producing harmful acids such as sulphuric acid which causes acid rain..

Answer 5

Sulphur dioxide is unusable because it is poisonous.

Answer 6

It contributes to acid rain

Answer 7
