| sulfur dioxide |
a corrosive gas produced both by nature and technology in nearly equal amounts. Burning fuels, such as coal and oil, that contain sulfur produces SO2. It is also produced from sea spray, organic decomposition and volcanic eruptions. When combined with water in the air, it produces a weak, corrosive sulfuric acid -- an ingredient of "acid rain."

| sulfur |
A yellowish nonmetallic element. It is present at various levels of concentration in many fossil fuels whose combustion releases sulfur compounds that are considered harmful to the environment. Some of the most commonly used fossil fuels are categorized according to their sulfur content, with lower sulfur fuels usually selling at a higher price.

| sulfur |
A non-metal element, bright yellow in color, frequently found near volcanic vents. It is toxic to most life forms in its pure state, but is one of the essential elements that make up the salts required for living things. It combines with Oxygen and hydrogen to form Sulfuric Acid-H2SO4.
