1. It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting.
2. It is a major component in acid rain.
3. It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state.
4. Accidental inhalation can kill you.
5. It contributes to erosion.
6. It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.

A dangerous compound. What is it?

The real answer is sulfur. S is the actual component of acid rain. and its corrosive so it would cause vomitting and sickness and burns. It has been proven to cause a decrease in effectiveness in brakes because it is found in some gasolines. It has also been found in malignant tumors. Of course accident inhilation can kill you, sulfur gas is poisenous. Im not so sure about the errosion one, but it could of course in abundance, kill plant life, so that is a cause of erosion. Thanks. I like my answer better too.
