Harmful Effects Of Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)

 

"-Short-term exposures to SO2 can harm the human respiratory system and make breathing difficult.         

-Small particles may penetrate deeply into the lungs and in sufficient quantity can contribute to health problems.

-SO2 and other sulfur oxides can contribute to acid rain which can harm sensitive ecosystems."   -EPA
