What happens to sulfur dioxide when it enters the environment?
• When released into the environment, sulfur dioxide moves into the air. • In the air, it can be converted to sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide, and sulfates. • Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water. • Once dissolved in water, sulfur dioxide can form sulfurous acid. • Sulfur dioxide can be absorbed into the soil, but we don’t know if or how it moves in soil.
