While its a good thing that the use of scrubbing is increasing, how much of a difference is this really making? While this may remove impurities from industrial sources, the buring of fossil fuels has been shown to be the largest contributer to sulfer contaminents. As countries become more industrialized, they burn more fossil fuels, and the rate of fossil fuel use continues to increase. It would be interesting to know whether scrubbing has actually made a dent in sulfur emissions.
