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.
The proposed standards should reduce mercury emissions from power plants burning coal and oil by 91 percent, acid gas pollution by 91 percent, direct particulate matter emissions by 30 percent, and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions by 53 percent, down to 2.1 million tons of annual SO2 emissions.
