  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Sulfur trioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula O3S and an average molecular weight of 80.06 g/mol. Sulfur trioxide belongs to the other non-metal oxides, a subclass of other non-metal organides within the inorganic compounds. It is further categorized under the superclass of homogeneous non-metal compounds.

In industrial applications, sulfur trioxide serves as a binder and is also identified as a degradant or impurity. The compound is found in or released from 23 recorded sources across several sectors. Within electrical and electronic equipment, it is associated with antennas, amplifiers, discharge lamps, electric switches, and electric hearing aids, among eight other sources. In the context of building and construction, it is found in floors, roofs, fencing, and stairs and ramps.

Sulfur trioxide is also present in household cleaning and consumer products, specifically within tobacco smoke filters and bleaching agents. Additionally, it is linked to food, food processing, and cookware, where it is released during the processing of fish, the treatment of hops, fermentation processes for beer, and the preparation of wine or sparkling wine.</description>
