Wisconsin Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Emissions

Health Effects

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is a rapidly diffusing reactive gas that is quite soluble in water. It is emitted principally from combustion or processing of sulfur containing fossil fuels and ores.

At elevated concentrations, SO₂ can adversely affect human health, vegetation, and materials. For more information please read the USEPA information [exit DNR] on SO₂.
