Sulfur dioxide, which causes air pollution and acid rain, is one of the colorless and nonflammable gases. When sulfur is present in liquid or solid fuels, sulfur dioxide is formed. It can stay in the air for two days to four days and can therefore be transported to very long distances due to air movements. As such, their effects cause not only the region in which they occur, but also in remote locations where they are carried.

When the sulfur dioxide concentration exceeds the limit values, especially asthma, bronchitis, heart and lung patients suffer serious health problems. Sulfur dioxide, when inhaled by humans, leads to very dangerous consequences in healthy people, from respiratory and lung diseases to deaths due to its concentration.

The main sources of sulfur dioxide are industrial boilers and thermal power plants. The highest concentrations of sulfur dioxide are generally found near major industrial plants. In people exposed to sulfur dioxide, irritation of the eyes, burning in the throat and cough are seen first. Further exposure includes difficulty in breathing, pain in the chest, difficulty swallowing and fluid accumulation in the lungs. Sulfur dioxide can easily be mixed into the water as it can be easily dissolved in water.

A significant damage to sulfur dioxide, other than human health, is the deterioration of building materials. This pollutant gas, which is very high in polluted air, enters the building materials and causes their early deterioration.

In addition, sulfur dioxide is combined with water vapor in humid weather conditions and causes the fog and haze to remain on for a long time, and it falls to the ground as acid rain, creating danger for human, animal and plant health.

The only way to prevent sulfur dioxide exposure is to minimize the use of fossil fuels. Therefore, sulfur dioxide measurements are important.

Our company performs sulfur dioxide (SO2) measurements within the scope of gas measurements. In these studies In accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations.

In the meantime, our organization, ÖSAS Accreditation Agency, It is accredited according to TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard and the tests, measurement, analysis, inspection and inspection procedures and reports are accepted as valid in private and official audits.
