Study of harmful effects of sulfur compounds on the environment

Abstract

            Protection of nature and efficient use of natural resources is one of the most important problems facing humanity. New natural resources are involved in the economic activity of society to meet the needs arising as a result of the rapid growth of the scientific and technical revolution and the rapid increase of the population on earth.

            The scientific and technical revolution leaves a negative mark on some ecological system, the air basin, sea water areas, fresh water basin are polluted, soil cover and forest resources are damaged.

            The rapid development of chemical production, which is one of the leading areas of scientific and technical progress, has given people an abundance of material goods and high living conditions, but it has also caused a series of negative changes in the living environment in which they and other living creatures adapt. Thus, millions of tons of solid, gaseous and liquid wastes are thrown into the environment every year, and billions of cubic meters of water bodies are poisoned with waste and dirty water from industry and other farms.
