3. The London Smog Disaster of 1952 • On December 5, 1952, London, England, experienced temperatures that were much colder than normal. As a result, large amounts of coal were burned in furnaces to keep residences warm. This occurred at the same time as the formation of a heavy fog. Water from the fog condensed around airborne soot particles, and a thick smog quickly developed. Nearly 12,000 human deaths resulted. • In addition to soot, what product of the burning coal contributed most to the extreme pollution of London’s air?

20. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) • Sulfur dioxide is the chemical compound with the formula SO2. It is produced by volcanoes and in various industrial processes. Since coal and petroleum often contain sulfur compounds, their combustion generates sulfur dioxide unless the sulfur compounds are removed before burning the fuel. • http://www.epa.gov/acidrain/education/site_students/acid_anim.html
