Turkey produced 2.2 million metric tons of sulfur oxide emissions in 2020. This made Turkey the largest producer of sulfur oxide emissions of all OECD countries that year. Australia ranked second, with emissions totaling 2.1 million metric tons. Sulfur oxides and nitrogen compounds can transform into sulfuric and nitric acids that can cause the acidification of aquatic and terrestrial systems.
