Sulfur dioxide
freebase
help| Sulfur dioxide (also sulphur dioxide) is the chemical compound with the formula SO2. It is produced by volcanoes and in various industrial processes. Since coal and petroleum often contain sulfur compounds, their combustion generates sulfur dioxide. Further oxidation of SO2, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2, forms H2SO4, and thus acid rain. This is one of the causes for concern... Read enhanced Wikipedia article |

Acid Rain Program
But instead of using or trading them, A.R.R.F. retires them permanently, taking allowances off the market and keeping sulfur dioxide out of the air. -

Io (moon)
Plume deposits on Io are often colored red or white depending on the amount of sulfur and sulfur dioxide in the plume. -

Sulfur
Sulfur burns with a blue flame that emits sulfur dioxide, notable for its peculiar suffocating odor due to dissolving in the mucosa to form dilute sulfurous acid. -

Sulfuric acid
The reaction with iron (shown) is typical for most of these metals, but the reaction with tin is unusual in that it produces sulfur dioxide rather than hydrogen. -

Volcanism on Io
While most lavas on Io are made of basalt, a few lava flows consisting of sulfur and sulfur dioxide have been seen. -

Flue gas desulfurization
Sulfur dioxide is responsible for acid rain formation. ... When burned, about 95 percent or more of the sulfur is generally converted to sulfur dioxide (SO2). -

Volcano
Large, explosive volcanic eruptions inject water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ash (pulverized rock and pumice) into the stratosphere to heights of 16–32 kilometres (10–20 mi) above the Earth's surface. -

Air pollution
Before flue gas desulfurization was installed, the emissions from this power plant in New Mexico contained excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide. -

Atmosphere of Venus
Sulfuric acid is produced in the upper atmosphere by the sun's photochemical action on carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor.
