coal is a chemical fuel, which we use to make electricity , cook barbecue...etc
The sulfur in coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide which is a major pollution if we use big amount of quantities.

-Sulfur dioxide is the chemical compound, It is a toxic gas with a pungent, irritating smell.

hoped it helped :D
