Uses
Organic sulfur compounds occur in garlic, mustard,
onions, and cabbage and are responsible for the odor of
skunks. Sulfur occurs in living tissue and is part of some
amino acids. Unlike many other inorganic elements, sulfur
itself is relatively nontoxic. Sulfur and some of its salts have
been used medicinally. Organosulfur compounds, such as
diallyl disulfide, exhibit antiproliferative effects on cancer
cells. The consumption of sulfur is a measure of
national industrial development and economic activity.
Sulfur is most often used as a chemical reagent, rather
than as part of a finished product. In the United States,about 90% of sulfur consumed was in the form of sulfuric
acid. Agricultural chemicals (primarily fertilizers) comprised
about 62% of sulfur demand; petroleum refining, 26%;
and metal mining, 5%.
