Question
Which environmental problem is the result of chemical reactions in the atmosphere that involves sulphur dioxide?
Explanation
Sulfur dioxide oxidizes in atmosphere to sulfuric acid, mixing with rain forming acid rain with pH below 5.6. It damages forests, buildings and aquatic systems. Melting glaciers and global warming relate to CO2 and greenhouse gases, not sulfur chemistry.
