CONT

Le soufre atmosphérique est présent sous forme de composés qui interviennent en phase gazeuse, liquide ou solide. Les principaux composés gazeux sont SO2,H2S. A ceux-ci viennent s'ajouter de faibles quantités de composés minéraux ou organiques (SF6,(CH3)2S,CS2 etc.( ainsi que des produits de réactions intermédiaires.

OBS

Le soufre se rencontre surtout sous forme d'anhydride sulfureux dans l'atmosphère; il arrive donc souvent qu'une relation de synonymie s'établisse entre le soufre et ce composé du soufre.
