Industrial representatives claim that the ambient air quality standard for SO, is so low that one exceeds it if one strikes a simple wooden match in a modest-sized room. Is this true? (a) Calculate the concentration expected for striking such a match in a room that is 15' x 15' x 8'. A typical 2-inch wooden match contains, approximately, 2.5 mg of S. (b) Compare the resulting concentration to the annual average SO, ambient air quality standard.
