Sources of sulfur dioxide pollution In 1963, more than 23 million tons of sulfur dioxide were discharged into the atmosphere of the United States. The fossil-fueled power plant is the chief contributor to sulfur dioxide emissions and accounts for over 40% of the total emission.
Overview. Sulfur is a naturally-occurring mineral that is found mostly near hot springs and volcanic craters. It has a distinct rotten egg smell, caused by sulfur dioxide gas escaping into the air. As a supplement, sulfur is available in two forms: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). About 15% of DMSO breaks down into MSM in the body. Both have been touted as treatments for pain.
