Vast amounts of Sulfur is regularly release in marshy bays and the continental shelf without the assistance of man. This nearly 1.5 ton release is nothing. The two hour time span for releasing is to diffuse the substance so much that only unpleasant part of is the rotten egg smell for a short period of time. Talking to friend back in New Orleans who works with the docks where sulfur is regularly unloaded and loaded says that natural exposure from the sulfur sitting on barges would release more than this amount (and it happens daily). As with everything dealing with the environment, perspective is nice to have. Glad to see it is so little.
