so that's all for now and stay with us for the planet to show that puts the spotlights on climate change this week. so for in the atmosphere, it's deadly and it's sturdy. so why is no one talking about us on top of funding? the asked for me on the team here. thanks for watching. take care. the rules when we say they're about never giving up every weekend on the double, you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern methods. because if we do too much at $180.00 all wrong,
4:16 pm
we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary, these colorful rings, this acid lake and this blue fire all exist because of one element. so for the yellow stuff can be both completely harmless and extremely toxic. it's found in our bodies, our food, and also in volcanoes. if you've ever smelled a rotten egg or fart, the copper was sulfur, but unfortunately, heating it up also makes a highly toxic gas. it's also responsible for one of the scariest sounding environmental catastrophes, acid rain, and contributes to millions of dest every year, by extracting and burning fossil fuels, we're spewing it into the atmosphere. the story of sulfur as both the lumen is this
4:17 pm
an environmental success and not enough people are talking about it. software is one of the more abundant elements in the universe and combined with other elements can become one of the smell is you can find it in the ocean, the irs crust and the toxic atmosphere units. it's also the 3rd most common monroe in our bodies. our bodies are made up of around a 150 grams of solver, but in its solid pure form, it's both tasteless and odorless. compounds of it are found in many fluids, including broccoli, cauliflower, a ton in garlic. sofa is actually responsible for the strong smell that garlic makes much crushed. and now there's software. compound gives broccoli and cauliflower, their distinctive taste, and if you find yourself with a particularly smelly onion, that's because of itself or compound as well. these strips test for soul, for compounds and liquids. the good thing about software is that it can prevent bacteria growth and stop alcohol from turning the vinegar. it's also signed

in water from wells or springs. seems like this berlin tap water doesn't contain much sulfur, but this beer and wine definitely do. another place you'll find software is in the sky, little bit. so for doc set up, map missed here. concert is what we call cloud condensation nuclei. essentially we will little platforms for clouds to build around the cows. father is a climate scientist and researcher clouds that can be more reflect is an inbound smartlight back space. so the combined effects lead to about half a degree setting rate of cooling globally compared to a world where we didn't have the service on this. in other words, cell for in the atmosphere actually slows down. global warming seems pretty good, right. but so for actually the dark side it's one of the most reactive elements on the periodic table. that means it changes farm easily when in contact
4:19 pm
with other alumnis. it's also super playable. that's why matches are covered with it. the sofa keeps the fire burning long enough to light a candle. ready burning silver can look like a hell scape, like at this indonesian volcano, when matches are lit, a small quantity of a software gases created. and this matches a mini version of the software, pollution problems. those gases, these yellow sulfur molecules, form and other elements are toxic. one of them is hydrogen sulfide tucker with 2 hydrogen atoms. this gas is found naturally in wetlands swamps and hot springs. it's what gives human and animal waste. it's nasty smell because it's created in small amounts by bacteria in your mouth and got and inhaling it is one of the leading causes of workplace that's from chemicals because exposure can kill you immediately. another nancy cell for gas is software dioxide. if i were to light this pure silver on fire, it would change from of fun powder into
4:20 pm
a bad situation really quickly here. sulfur dioxide would come off of it, which is really not good for health. and that thing i shouldn't do. that's exactly what we've been doing for a long time on a planetary scale. so, so for position is many quits by bidding for sealed fuels. edmunds and any auto research has chemical pollution in the environment. and also industry decides is refining petroleum and snow to mid totes, this visualization prepared by green piece with nasa data shows worldwide. so for pollution, cold plants in russia and oil refineries and saudi arabia and iran are some of the biggest sol for gas emission hotspots. worldwide. fossil fuels naturally contain software. they can release, so for gas when they're extracted. and again when they're burned. another source of sulfur pollution is from the metal production. some metals naturally contain sulfur. it's also used during the purification process which can release pollution into the atmosphere. we didn't always know all of this. fossil
4:21 pm
fuel use took off around the 1950s, and at 1st everything was fine. but around the 1970s people started noticing something weird. the rain was more acidic than it used to be. remember how silver farms cloud, too much suffering clouds can react with other elements to form. so if you're an acid, an acid rain, oceans, lakes and rivers become more acetic, hurting marine animals. it also affects the ph of soil. we know plants that reiterated use and inspect the temperature in regarding a ph. he's also going to affects how it the plants i want to add. so the nutrients that they need to grow. but software doesn't need to rain down on us for it to have devastating effect. it's harmless in this form. but exposure to solve for gases can range from irritating the respiratory tract and eyes denija neurological effects even death. software pollution from coal contributed to the near constant london
4:22 pm
fog of the 19th century. people suffered and died from as 9 bronchitis, which still thinks those living new oil refineries and cold plants today. and silver particles also form pm 2.5. fine particles that are significant part of global air pollution. if you light a match a couple times or if you like, sitting around a campfire, um, you know they are placing it for you. there's a good for you, but if you're not doing that all day every day, it's not gonna be that bad for your health. whereas, you know, if you're living in beijing and your air, it looks like a piece. oops, that's where it really starts creating various severe medical problems as my heart disease and stuff like that. and a lot of that software pollution is caused by burning coal film. this outside for obvious reasons or as coal like business essentially just pulled out of the ground . it's still contains a lot of solver, apart from volcanoes, burning coal is responsible for more sulfur pollution than anything else. when
4:23 pm
burned in power plants device is called scrubbers can remove solver from the emissions. but if money or infrastructure is lacking, scrubbers don't end up doing so much scrubbing. there's obviously also called that is burned outside of power plants. can berlin, for example, some apartments of coal furnaces for heating during the winter. and this is the exact fuel that they use and those emissions come out of the chimney, they're putting sulfur directly into the atmosphere. worldwide. china has been the largest a mentor of sulphur in recent decades. because industrialization there was heavily reliant on coal. and along with burning coal came out to our air pollution responsible for over $1000000.00 deaths per year. because of this, the country has recently taken major steps to reduce self or emissions. in other countries, the amount of coal being burned is actually going up. when you electrify, you wrote it, they need to be some energy source in what is the quick image source. that is what it. so that's called but it isn't all bad news if you haven't really heard much
4:24 pm
about acid rain or so for gas recently, because there's been a very big effort to stop at the, in the low rate conditions across the welds where we would think to the meet the discharge of salt from the to be a to most viewed much of the software is removed from oil and gas during their finding process already before it. so to consumers, extracted software is turned into pesticides, fertilizers, and so if you're a gas it, because it's a by product of the oil and gas industry, we have a ton of it so much in canada, their solid software, just sitting around as a result, atmospheric software gases have decreased significantly over the past decades. and regulations are still getting tighter. 2020. so the 1st ones on shipping fuel before then ship, spend the dirtiest oil full of sulfur. but in now the last tech industry, there's been or studies about the health impacts and burning the steel in ports with a couple studies suggesting that somewhere in the range of $20.00 to $60000.00 people globally and they die prematurely due to exposure to suffer to exit pollution from
4:25 pm
shipping, and it turns out that about 10 percent of all of the silver dioxide that we make globally comes from shipping. and with less sofa released into the sky. there are fewer clouds over the ocean. this usually good news has one small problem. fewer clouds mean less sunlight is reflected. this is predicted to one the planet equivalent 2 years of extra greenhouse gas emissions. quite a tricky trade off, but experts say reducing sulfur emissions is still worth it. to welcome banning sulfur pollution is one of those rare environmental successes. this stuff is stopping us from putting our party hats on just yet. removing solver from fuels has caused a significant drop and worldwide pollution. we're going to see at fall further from the recent regulations on marine fuel, but there's still more software in the atmosphere than there should be. and enforcing software regulations in one part of the world only partially solves the problem as well. refineries elsewhere are still releasing. it into the air. so all regulations are important. shift away from fossil fuels is the only thing that will
