Indirectly, yes. Fossil fuels are still a popular fuel source for many such factories, although you would be less likely to see it used in a paper factory. If you are looking for an economic good which is directly related to petroleum (the most commonly altered fossil fuel) then anything plastic, and of course petroleum jelly would be on your list.

How is sulphur iv oxide produce?

Sulfur dioxide is produced through the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil, as well as during volcanic eruptions and other natural processes. It is also produced during industrial processes like metal smelting and the production of paper and chemicals.


Why do people burn fossil fuels?

We as people on this planet need Energy. And the easiest way to get it is by burning fossil fuel. We use the fuel to make gas for our cars, to make electricity for our homes, to run our factories and powerplants. We've been consuming more and more over the years in way more time it takes fossil fuels to make themselves in the ground out of dying and decomposing material. We burn fossil fuels because it is the second most effective way that we know to get energy and the easiest one to transport. Nuclear energy is more effective, but has a stigma attached of it being bad due to a lack of understanding from the general population. Therefore people will generally prefer fossil fuels over nuclear energy. We burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) because we didn't realize they were adding to the greenhouse effect which is now causing global warming and climate change. We know this now, but we are too greedy for easy profits and we ignore the long term consequences and what it will mean for our children and grandchildren.


What is the origin of sulphur dioxide?

Although there are many potential sources of sulphur dioxide the primary concern is the comes from burning fossil fuels (coal and oil). The are referred to as "sour" fuels. Sulfur dioxide has the formula SO2. It is formed by burning sulfur, which is an impurity in coal and crude oil, with oxygen in the air.In Industry:The burning of sulphur containing fuels (Bunker, coal, sour gas)The flaring of sour gas either at gas wells or at refineriesThe processing of sulphidic ores (pyrites)Fires at sulphur blocks (a storage system for bulk sulphur)In Nature:VolcanoesIn the lab:Burning of sulfur


What are things that contain carbon?

Common things that contain carbon include living organisms (plants, animals), fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), organic matter (wood, paper), carbon dioxide (in the atmosphere and dissolved in water), and synthetic materials (plastics, rubber).
