7. Scrubbers are a type of pollution control technology installed on industry smokestacks to capture sulfur dioxide before it is emitted to the atmosphere. Once collected, the sulfur dioxio can be used to manufacture sulfuric acid, which can be sold to other companies that make detergents. Explain how the use of scrubber technology benefits both industry and the environment.
