- During the process of oxidation in the atmosphere this gas forms sulphates or salts that can be transported in the breathable particulate material (PM10) that in presence of humidity forms acids. Later these acids are an important part of the secondary particulate material or finest particulate material (PM2,5).The exposure to sulphates and the exposure to acids derived from SO2 is extremely risky for people's health because these compounds enter the circulatory system directly through the airways.he air pollution by SO2 has the following effects on human beings: 1  Corneal haze. 2  Breathing difficulty. 3  Airways inflammation. 4  Eye irritation. 5  Psychic alterations. 6  Pulmonary oedema.
