Sources of sulfur dioxide pollution In 1963, more than 23 million tons of sulfur dioxide were discharged into the atmosphere of the United States. The fossil-fueled power plant is the chief contributor to sulfur dioxide emissions and accounts for over 40% of the total emission.
Emissions from coal-fired power plants are the largest source of mercury in the United States, accounting for about 41 percent (48 tons in 1999) of industrial releases.he use of bagpipes and scrubbers to trap pollutants and toxins from power plant emissions like sulphur creates coal waste that can leach into groundwater and waterways, contaminating drinking water supplies.
