Al-Mishraq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Mishraq is a state run sulfur plant near Mosul, Iraq. In June, 2003 it was the site of the largest man-made release of sulfur dioxide ever recorded when a fire (thought to have been deliberately started) gained control and burned for almost a month. At its height, the fire was putting 21,000 tonnes of sulfur dioxide a day into the atmosphere.
