Cutting-Edge Strategies for Reducing Industrial SO2 Emissions
Namesh Kumar
Abstract: The SO2 gas produced by industry is a major pollutant in our atmosphere. It is produced when burning fossil fuels, like coal and oil, during the production of metals like copper, and when manufacturing paper and other industrial products. SO2 gas is a colorless and odorless gas that is harmful to both humans and the environment. It can cause a range of respiratory problems, including irritation of the nose and throat, and difficulty breathing. It can also damage vegetation, leading to reduced agricultural yields. In addition, SO2 gas contributes to the formation of acid rain, which can corrode buildings and monuments, and degrade water quality. To reduce the amount of SO2 gas generated by industry, regulatory agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency have implemented regulations to limit SO2 emissions from power plants and other sources. These regulations have been successful in reducing the amount of SO2 released into the atmosphere, but more work needs to be done in order to further reduce emissions and protect the environment.
