Sulphate

Similar term(s): sulfate, sulphur oxides.

Sulphate is a salt of sulphuric acid. It refers both to the SO₄^2- anion and to any compound that contains this ion.

In air, sulphates occur as microscopic particles (aerosols) resulting from the combustion of fossil fuel and biomass that contain sulphur. They increase the acidity of the atmosphere and form acid rain
