(in 1,000 metric tons of sulfur dioxide equivalent)
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is a highly reactive gas, that along with Nitrous Oxide (NOx) and Ammonia (NH3) is measured as a precursor to acid rain. Sector classification is based on the NACE code, which is the industry standard classification system for economic activities in the European Community.
