As the atmospheric deposition of sulfur has decreased, the use of sulfur fertilizer in Midwestern U.S. agriculture has increased between 1985 and 2015. Sulfur, an essential nutrient for plants, was as ...
Sulfur emissions, largely from coal plants, were pinpointed as a major cause of acid rain in the 1980s and 1990s. Changes to the Clean Air Act and other environmental regulations lessened the problem ...
New study finds that elemental sulfur is linked to reduced lung function, more asthma-related symptoms and higher asthma medication use in children living about a half-mile or less from farms that use ...
A Decade of Excellence in Fertilizer Manufacturing Founded in 2018 in Shanxi Province, Man Heart Fertilizer has rapidly established itself as a world-renowned ammonium sulfate granular producer.
