Fossil fuels favor the emission of thousands of substances pollutants. Among the worst are sulfur gases, as they cause serious environmental problems such as acid rain and enhance the climate change. But it also produces damage to health, its inhalation induces an increase in respiratory and cardiovascular problems. The airways become irritated and can damage lung tissue. That is why more and more people suffer from asthma or bronchitis.
Sulfur dioxide
We are basically talking about carbon dioxide sulfur (SO), an extremely pollutant colorless and with a somewhat unpleasant odor that is generated in the combustion of coal and oil. The most industrialized areas are the most affected, mainly due to thermoelectric plants, refineries or cars with diesel engines. But this gas also originates in nature itself from volcanic or oceanic eruptions. When the gas disperses in the environment It is usually responsible for various negative effects on the atmosphere, affecting living beings, plants and other animals.
However, there is some hope because reducing sulfur gases is possible. Fortunately, less and less coal is used for combustion, something that has improved the quality of air. But the main objective that companies should set is the total replacement from fossil fuels to renewable energy. On the other hand, consumers can also contribute to reducing pollution, being responsible in their energy consumption or not using private transport when it is not necessary.
