Puisque le soufre est le principal précurseur des pluies acides, l'azote étant l'autre précurseur d'importance, la notion de pollution soufrée recouvre parfois la notion de pollution acide ou de pluies acides. Sinon la notion met en opposition la pollution par le soufre, le principal précurseur, à la pollution par l'azote, l'autre précurseur des pluies acides. 3, record 1, French, - pollution%20soufr%C3%A9e
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Le soufre quand il est émis dans l'atmosphère s'y retrouve sous forme de bioxyde (mieux que dioxyde) de soufre; transformé en trioxyde, ou acide sulfurique, il devient véritablement un polluant acide. 3, record 1, French, - pollution%20soufr%C3%A9e
