We present a study S K-edge using high-resolution HETGS {it Chandra} spectra
of 36 low-mas X-ray binaries. For each source, we have estimated column
densities for {rm S}~{sc i}, {rm S}~{sc ii}, {rm S}~{sc iii}, {rm
S}~{sc xiv}, {rm S}~{sc xv} and {rm S}~{sc xvi} ionic species, which trace
the neutral, warm and hot phases of the Galactic interstellar medium. We also
estimated column densities for a sample of interstellar dust analogs. We
measured their distribution as a function of Galactic latitude, longitude, and
distances to the sources. While the cold-warm column densities tend to decrease
with the Galactic latitude, we found no correlation with distances or Galactic
longitude. This is the first detailed analysis of the sulfur K-edge absorption
due to ISM using high-resolution X-ray spectra.
