    Sulfur based oxides can form from both natural and manmade sources. Naturally, bacterial oxidation of hydrogen sulfide and the anaerobic oxidation of cellulose and waste can produce sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. Manmade sources include the combustion of low-grade coal, iron pyrite industries, and the refining of petrol and synthetic gas, which can produce sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide and oxygen can further react to form sulfur trioxide, which combines with water to form sulfuric acid. Nitrogen oxides are produced from natural sources like forest fires and bacteria, as well as from combustion of fuels in automobiles, planes, engines, furnaces, and the manufacturing of nitric acid. Burning of

    SULFUR BASED OXIDES

     Natural sources: Bacterial oxidation: H2S + 3O2 2SO2 + 2H2O

     Anaerobic oxidation of Cellulose and waste


    SULFUR BASED OXIDES

     Manmade Source: Combustion of low-grade coal


     Iron pyrites industries
     Refining of petrol and synthetic gas

    Cu2S + 2O2 2CuO + SO2

    Formation of Sulphuric acid:

    I)SO2 + O2 2SO3

    I)SO3 +H2O H2SO4


    NITROGEN MONOXIDE (NO) AND NITROGEN DIOXIDE (NO2)

     Natural sources like forest fires and bacterial action on organic matter produce NOx gas.
     Combustion of fuel used in automobiles, aeroplanes and rail engines produce high amount of NOx gas.
     Burning of natural gas, coal, Oil and wood in furnace also produce high NOx .
     Manufacturing of HNO3 and forest fires leads to liberation of high amount of NOx.
