Safety Measures

Because of Sulphur Monoxide's rare occurrence in our atmosphere and poor stability; it is difficult to fully determine its hazards. But when condensed and compacted it does form Disulfur Dioxide which is relatively toxic and corrosive. This compound is also highly flammable (similar flammability to methane) and when burned produces Sulphur Dioxide, a poisonous gas.
