Climate affecting Fulfur emissions show decline by the new York times scientists have found evidence buried within the Greenland Icecap that Al though human activity is pouring Fulfur Inlo the atmosphere at a prodigious rate Fulfur emitted by Marine organisms into the air has begun to decline sharply. Atmospheric Fulfur has been indic cd As a contributor to acid rain but it May also have profound effects on climate. Some compounds of Fulfur play a role in Cloud formation and Clouds Block sunlight which might reduce atmospheric tempera Ture and offset greenhouse warming. Some scientists predict that such warm ing will result from increasing amounts of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Or. Eric Saltzman of the University of Miami in Florida and Pai Sci Hung a graduate student selected changing trends in atmospheric Fulfur by Analuz ing samples of ice drilled from the Greenland Icecap. They reported in a University announcement thai since 1900. Inc Quantity of  acid a compound of Fulfur generated by microorganisms in the atmosphere has declined by half. Over the same period atmospheric sul fur created by human activity like Burn ing Fossil fuels tripled. Atmospheric Fulfur is also produced by volcanoes and chemical reactions in the Ocean. Saltzman said in an interview that he could not account for the change in phytoplankton production. We know that some species of phytoplankton generate  acid while others do not and it May be that proportions of the various species populations have  he said. Bui we Don t know Why or even we Cher this is inc Corr cd explanation. One of the problems we be just begun to tackle in looking at these ice records is in relating what we find in Greenland ice to atmospheric changes  he said. The University of Miami is collaborating wit ii soviet and French institutions in drawing ice samples at the soviet Vos lok station in Antarctica. We know now that the great bulk of sul fur in the atmosphere comes from human rather than natural sources he said. Jacksonville ignites Chews for raising stink Jacksonville Fla.
