This study investigates the relationship between sulfur content in commercial fuels and metal corrosion behavior as an environmental indicator of sulfur exposure in urban and volcanic areas of East Java. The research aims to evaluate corrosion characteristics of iron materials immersed in various commercial fuels and to examine their potential relevance to regional sulfur-related atmospheric conditions. Corrosion experiments were conducted using iron spheres immersed for 21 days in several fuel types, including diesel, gasoline, Pertamax, Pertalite, and Pertasol variants. Sulfur characterization was performed using an Oil Sulfur Analyzer based on X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) principles, while corrosion rates were determined using the weight-loss method. The results indicate that fuels with higher sulfur content generally produced higher corrosion rates. Diesel fuel exhibited the highest corrosion rate (1.0300 mpy), while low-sulfur fuels such as Pertamax showed significantly lower corrosion behavior (0.4120 mpy). Spatial interpretation of sulfur-related environmental conditions in East Java suggests contrasting characteristics between urban regions dominated by anthropogenic fuel combustion and volcanic areas influenced by natural sulfur degassing. Estimated sulfur dioxide emissions and their associated radiative forcing values demonstrate that sulfur-rich fuels potentially contribute to greater atmospheric sulfur loading and sulfate aerosol formation. Overall, the findings suggest that metal corrosion indicators have potential applicability as supporting proxies for sulfur-related environmental assessment.
