Abstract
This paper reviews damages from sulfur dioxide, comparing national estimates with micro estimates, in common dollar units of account. The damages monetized are changes in mortality rates, morbidity, material soiling and corrosion, and agricultural crop yields. Other impacts such as aesthetics, visibility, and animal mortality and morbidity, are not explicitly considered due to limited knowledge concerning the impacts of SO2 for these damage categories.
