Predominant Use of Sulfur Dioxide as Bleaching Agent in Pulp and Paper Industries

The soaring demand for sulfuric acid is also a prominent factor driving the market in North America. Sulfur dioxide forms an important component in the production of sulfuric acid, which has been witnessing significant demand, especially in developing countries majorly dependent on agriculture.

Environmental and Health Issues Related to Sulfur Dioxide a Major Deterrent

Increasing environmental and health concerns regarding the use of sulfur dioxide has limited the growth of the market in North America. “Prolonged exposure to sulfur dioxide adversely affects the lungs and may also result in burning sensation of the nose and throat, breathing difficulties, and obstruction of the airway in severe cases,” the lead analyst points out. Moreover, acid rain – a key component of which is sulfuric acid – causes deforestation, acidifies waterways, causes harm to aquatic life, and corrodes building materials and paints. This is also a prominent threat to the sulfur dioxide market.
