Sulfur Monoxide - Safety Measures

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.

Famous quotes containing the words safety and/or measures:

    An evident principle ... is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Him the Almighty Power
    Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
    With hideous ruine and combustion down
    To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
    In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
    Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
    Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night
    To mortal men, he with his horrid crew
    Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe
    John Milton (1608–1674)
