		Sulfur is a chemically active element and forms many compounds, both by itself (sulfides) and in combination with other elements.
		Elemental sulfur is used in fl gunpowder, matches, and fireworks; in the vulcanization of rubber; as a fungicide, insecticide, and fumigant; in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers; and in the treatment of certain skin diseases.

	It's Elemental - The Element Sulfur
		The majority of the sulfur produced today is obtained from underground deposits, usually found in conjunction with salt deposits, with a process known as the Frasch process.
		Smaller amounts of sulfur are used to vulcanize natural rubbers, as an insecticide (the Greek poet Homer mentioned "pest-averting sulphur" nearly 2,800 years ago!), in the manufacture of gunpowder and as a dying agent.
		Sulfur dioxide (SO), formed by burning sulfur in air, is used as a bleaching agent, solvent, disinfectant and as a refrigerant.

		Sulfur, acids, magnesium, iron -- all put together under the carbon dioxide-rich skies of Mars -- could just reek.
