respiratory is a fancy word for breathing. so if you breathe you stay alive. therefore if you dont breathe you die. it contributes in the fact that it keeps your blood pumped and filtered and allows for more oxygen to enter your body.

Depends on which 'sport'. Swimming in a functioning coal mine could be bad. Chinese fire drill in the space station would be even worse. ;-) In general, any increase in activity will boost your CO2 levels in your blood, which will signal your brain that increased respiration is in order. Not only to get rid of the buildup of CO2, but for Ph balance as well as increased oxygen demand. An increase in respiration quantity and depth will help move secretions in the lungs, which will decrease risk for pulmonary infection. (Provided you are not exercising on the TB floor in the hospital, or anywhere else that would increase your exposure to airborne irritants of any kind.)

Sports do not generally have any negative effects on the respiratory system. In the short term, an athlete may feel out of breath, but continued playing will strengthen the lungs.

Is sulfur dioxide long or short term toxicity?

Sulfur dioxide would be considered to have short term toxicity because it produces its deleterious effects rather quickly. Once it reacts, it's done with its damage. It can be severely corrosive to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. It can cause chemical severe burns. Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Exposure can exacerbate existing conditions where eyes, respiratory system or skin is already damaged. Once the eyes, respiratory system or skin are damaged, it can result in a chronic condition, but this is due to the existing damage rather than persistent toxicity of the sulfur dioxide.
