Low-sulfur coal generally contains 1 percent or less sulfur by weight. For air quality standards, "low sulfur coal" contains 0.6 pounds or less sulfur per million Btu, which is equivalent to 1.2 pounds of sulfur dioxide per million Btu. Metallurgical coal (or coking coal) meets the requirements for making coke. It must have a low ash and sulfur ...

Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is a gaseous air pollutant composed of sulfur and oxygen. SO 2 forms when sulfur-containing fuel such as coal, petroleum oil, or diesel is burned. Sulfur dioxide gas can also change chemically into sulfate particles in the atmosphere, a major part of fine particle pollution, which can blow hundreds of miles away.
