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.
Others, like CO2, largely result from natural processes like respiration and from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. The production of electricity is the source of 70 percent of the United States' sulfur dioxide emissions, 13 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions, and 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the EPA.
