Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) contributes to global warming and climate change. Sulphur dioxide, another by-product of burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), causes acid rain.

What problems occur when theres to much sulfur dioxide in the air?

The main problem with sulfur dioxide in atmosphere is the influence for acid rain. Sulfur dioxide molecules can react with rainwater to form sulfuric acid. Additionally, as sulfur dioxide is irritant to breathe, it may cause respiratory hazards too.


Why burning plastic is harmful?

What does sulfur dioxide do to your body?

Sulfur dioxide can irritate the respiratory system, causing symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, and throat irritation. Prolonged exposure to high levels of sulfur dioxide can exacerbate asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Why are low sulphur fuels good?

A gas, sulfur dioxide, is released from fuels containing sulfur. Both coal and oil may contain some sulfur. Sulfur dioxide can cause breathing problems. Sulfur dioxide can combine with water vapor to create acid rain, destroying vegetation in lakes and forests. I do not agree that burning low sulfur fuels is good, just less harmful than high sulfur fuels. See related links.

How are sulfur dioxide carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide produced in combustion?

Sulfur and carbon are oxidized during the combustion process. Sulfur normally forms two compounds when it burns, Sulfur dioxide and to a lesser extent sulfur trioxide. This is normal. Carbon when it burns produces carbon dioxide, if there is not enough air provided to the combustion it will produce carbon monoxide, which is an incomplete reaction. Carbon monoxide is combustible gas and can be burned further into carbon dioxide, with the proper application of air. Nitrogen oxides, nitrous and nitric oxide, are a separate process. These chemical bonds require a heat input to form, and rob heat from a fuel. Typically they are not formed at temperatures under 1500F (816C). These compounds are formed from nitrogen in either the fuel or the air, a very hot flame is required to produce them.


What pungent vapor from volcanic eruption?

The pungent vapor from volcanic eruptions is primarily sulfur dioxide, along with other gases like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. These gases can cause respiratory irritation, acid rain, and contribute to air pollution.


When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are released into the air they can cause?

acid rain, which can harm vegetation, wildlife, and infrastructure. Additionally, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can contribute to respiratory issues in humans when inhaled.


What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?

Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
