Description
Acid gases and particles can be emitted from certain manufacturing processes including the manufacture of H2SO4 and explosives as well as other chemical processes. The physical form of H2SO4 emitted from such processes tends to be as acid mist, characterized by median particle diameters of several micrometers (μm) and larger. In addition, the combustion of sulfur-bearing fuels normally results in the direct emission of a small fraction (<5%) of fuel sulfur in the form of H2SO4 or as metal sulfate salts. These direct stack emissions are referred to as “primary” sulfates. Another minor source of ambient acids is from oxidation of the sulfur dioxide (SO2) in gasoline (which contains about 0.05% sulfur) as the exhaust gases pass through the catalytic converter. When chloride-containing coal is burned, the Cl- is normally emitted as HCl (gas). Hydrofluoric acid (HF) from industrial sources was one of the agents suspected of contributing to the 1930 air pollution disaster in Meuse Valley, Belgium.
