  1. #Italy - Sicily was once a major producer of sulphur but has shut down its hundreds of #mines. Seeing as #sulphur is a key ingredient in some #fertilisers and sulphur #exports have been interrupted by the US-Israel vs Iran conflict, maybe Sicily could look into reopening its mines?

  2. Critical mineral mining and rare earth elements (REEs) processing are disrupted by both the destruction of energy assets in the Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz: thesoufancenter.org/intelbrief

  3. War? Out with petrol standards. Maximising harm from vehicle pollution.

    What’s ‘dirty fuel’ doing to our lungs? The same as it did for most of 2025

    Why does sulfur in fuel matter for health?
    "Traffic-related pollution causes harm even at the relatively low levels found in Australia. Cleaner fuel means cleaner air – and cleaner air saves lives. Even short detours from that path should be taken cautiously, transparently and for as little time as possible." >>

  4. "A surge in the price of sulphur has highlighted how the effects of the Iran war are spreading far beyond energy markets to hit wider supply chains.

    Shipping has been virtually halted through the Strait of Hormuz, choking off supplies of the byproduct of oil and gas refining that, while a niche commodity, is vital in sectors from fertilisers and chemicals to computer chips and metal processing.

    The impact of the waterway’s disruption is rippling across industries, with already strained supply chains facing their biggest threat since the Covid-19 pandemic, analysts say.

    More than 44,000 companies have had at least one shipment affected, according to analytics group Dun & Bradstreet, which said businesses in China and India had been the most exposed.

    Amin Nasser, chief executive of Saudi Aramco, told reporters on Tuesday that the crisis in the strait had triggered “a severe chain reaction”, with a “drastic domino effect” on various industries."

  5. Ferries emit ‘more sulphur pollution than cars’ in several EU capitals.

    Dublin, Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn are among 13 of Europe’s 15 biggest port cities choked more by sulphur oxides (SOx) from ferries than road vehicles, analysis shows.

  7. So apparently the addition of asafoetida gets more moths to show up at sugaring mixes such as beer, molasses, and rum. #moth #moths #mothing #beetles #nocturnal #lepidoptera #insects #sugaring #entomology #sulphur #noctuidae

  13. Cleaner shipping fuel is now mandatory as the Mediterranean becomes a low-emissions zone.

    Ships in the Mediterranean must now use cleaner fuel with lower sulphur content, as the sea on Thursday becomes the world’s fifth low-emissions zone.

    Reducing sulphur emissions is expected to improve air and water quality and benefit human and environmental health.

  14. Day two of the Walkers are Welcome annual get together. A busy day visiting St David’s church, sulphur well, Heart of Wales line and a brewery tour. Obviously we had to sample the goods! #beer #LlanwrtydWells #Wales #walkersAreWelcome #Brewery #Sulphur #SaturdayMood #weekendplans

  15. Solstice-
    Summer is all about revelry. Having fun in the sun-all sweaty and sticky. Downright Sulphurous!
    Drinking, smoking, ______, sports, demonstrations whatever you like to do to get charged up. Put those shades on baby!

    Time to move. Spring is all about sweet sexy things and Fall is quiet repose. Winter is death and rebirth of course.

    Can you tell time is sailing by for me? I'm just riding the wave friends! Feeling good is a good feeling!

  20. Mysterious #crystals on #bone exposed to tryptic soy broth: The plot thickens! 💎🦴

    Elemental composition analysis using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (#EDX/#EDS) picks up #calcium, #sulphur (#sulfur), but #phosphorus only occasionally! 🧪🔍

    The #mystery crystals turn out to be calcium sulphate, with uncanny resemblance to the crystal habit of α-calcium sulphate hemihydrate!!!!! 🔬

  21. I woke up with a thought in my head concerning grandad's medicine.

    Fo those who don't know me that well, I inherited my grandad's notebooks from the 1930's and I discovered he was interested in #alchemy too.
    He built several odd apparati and documented many chemical experiments- most pretty mundane.

    His last project before he passed in the early nineties, after a long career in industrial chemistry, was a topical medicine to treat HIV.

    He tried to sell the formula to drug companies, but because he did his own clinical trials they took a pass. (Yes, he found volunteers to try it). His descriptive materials were also -obtuse. At best.

    I believe this substance has far wider ranging properties and uses than he let on.
    I made some last summer. It #stinks to high hell.

    Anyway, I woke with the answer to a problem that's been vexing me and puts this medicine firmly back into #alchemy.

    I now know which components are represented symbolically by #Mercury, #Sulphur and #Salt. Therefore, I also know their proportions.

    I can apply these numerical proportions to other aspects of #alchemy. This could be huge.

    Praise the Eyes of Ra for opening my up my vision!
