N2  - Al-Mishraq sulfur mine (25 miles to the north of Qayyarah in Mosul province, Iraq) has been considered as the largest sulfur mine in the world. The site has caused two catastrophic events in 2003 and 2016 due to combustion of elemental. sulfur. The release of about 600 k tons of sulfur dioxide. (SO2) led to the formation. of the largest. non-volcanic. sulfur cloud ever measured by satellites. Gaseous. sulfur dioxide is. readily. soluble. in water, and reacts with water molecules in the. atmosphere. to produce. sulfuric acid rain which can cause serious damage to environment. We report here the adverse effects upon sulfur dioxide evolution as result of sulfur combustion as. well. as. acid rain. We also highlight some major health problems that people. have. suffered. so far from sulfur dioxide evolution.
