Health in Zimbabwe sulfur dioxide is tremendously detrimental to the life of organisms. Not to mention, as sulfur dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere, it forms into acid precipitation as it reacts with water, nitrogen oxides and other sulfur oxides. This is an ecological consequence that arises from the burning of fossil fuels, which is performed in many countries and many industries for the formation of energy, power plants, and automobiles. Acid precipitation can lead to asthma, bronchitis, lung inflammation, emphysema, and other lung and heart diseases. In 2007, the number of cars per 1000 person was 114, as compared to 17 cars
Higher sulfur oxides forms of solid SO) with oxide bridges (−O−) replaced randomly by peroxide bridges(−O−O−). As such these compounds are non-stoichiometric. Higher sulfur oxides Higher sulfur oxides are a group of chemical compounds with the formula SO where x lies between 0 and 1. They contain peroxo (O−O) groups and the oxidation state of sulfur is +6 as in SO. Monomeric SO can be isolated at low temperatures (below 78 K) following the reaction of SO and atomic oxygen or photolysis of SO–ozone mixtures. The favoured structure is: Colourless polymeric condensates are formed in the reaction of gaseous SO or SO with
