If so, then the reduction of sulfur dioxide (& sulfuric acid) from cleaning up our human emissions, would also have an effect of allowing more methane into the atmosphere.

If so, then the reduction of sulfur dioxide (& sulfuric acid) from cleaning up our human emissions, would also have an effect of allowing more methane into the atmosphere.

Facilities that fall under the CAA for major emissions of non-greenhouse gases such as sulfur dioxide or nitrous oxide may be required to take steps to control not only these pollutants, but also greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing carbon emissions will also cut particle pollution, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide by more than 25 percent.

Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change, and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.

But China also emits a significant amount of GHGs besides carbon dioxide — methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride — collectively referred to as non-CO2 GHG emissions.

This stands in stark contrast to the use of fossil fuels, which can not only result in the emission of large amounts of CO2, but also of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx).

But it's also the by - product of fossil fuel combustion, and when a refinery or power plant reduces its greenhouse gas emissions (by becoming more energy - efficient, for example), it also releases fewer smog - forming chemicals like nitrogen oxides, less of the sulfur dioxide and soot that can irritate lungs and cause respiratory disease, and fewer toxic emissions linked to cancer and neurological disorders.

The administration is likely to argue that cutting CO2 emissions from power plants would also be helping to reduce the release of respiratory irritants sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.

Coal - fired power plants are the largest unregulated source of mercury, a potent neurotoxin, in the U.S.. They're also the major source of sulfur dioxide emissions in the U.S. which causes acid rain, haze in National Parks and Wilderness areas, and fine particulate matter which contributes to lung cancer, heart attacks, and even premature death.

Only when the trends for human - induced heat - trapping gases, sulfur dioxide emissions, soot, ozone, and land use changes are also included do the hindcast model results (Figure 3) and the recorded reality match up.

Greater natural gas production and use also lowers emissions of other air pollutants, such as mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter.

«It also should be recognized that anthropogenic emis - sions of air pollutants of direct health concern are, in many cases, associated with concurrent emission of pol - lutants that have important impacts on global climate (e.g., carbon dioxide, black carbon, sulfur dioxide, and others).»

Coal - fired power plant emissions also contain many other toxic elements and compounds, including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrous oxides (NOx), particulate matter, hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), arsenic, and heavy metals like chromium and cadmium.

Also this week, the Sierra Club released new maps demonstrating that sulfur dioxide emissions from the Danskammer coal plant could cause violations of the EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standard across six counties and over Storm King State Park, Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park and Bear Mountain State Park.
