Sulphur dioxide is very harmful to plants and it can kill them. Sulphur Dioxide is the main gas produced by the burning of coal and it is cleared into the atmosphere. Moreover Sulphur Dioxide can react with water vapour in the atmosphere and produce a dangerous acid called sulphuric acid which is the acid in acid rain. Sulphuric acid can break plants (and animals) down, therefore the plants die. i love does nuts
