Come on down to Florida and get yourself a snoot full of sulfur water. Smells like rotten eggs and tastes like s$#%. Gives of a gas the turns copper and silver black. It likes brass also.
They both are highly toxic. The OSHA PEL for hydrogen sulfide is 10 ppm and it is 5 ppm for sulfur dioxide.Unlike hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide is acutely toxic. My high school Chem teacher, when asked what sulfur dioxide smells like, answered:
"It smells like your chest has been run over by a truck."
