grape skins are so gentle that they absorb a degree of the SO2. SO2 is a known carcinogen and should not be ingested ("in large quantities" as they say).
you can gently wash them in that veggie wash solution using alkaline water without chlorine. Otherwise, rinse under tap water, eat, pray for the best! or you just accept that you cannot eat grapes. Finally, grow your own. Then you know what has been added to them. Our lives simplify and enrich when we grow our own foods. I just started growing lettuce and herbs on my apartment patio :)
The SO2 is a byproduct from oil/gas industry. Interesting that out of the long research articles describing it, there is no answer as to what it does when ingested via mouth or skin.

How is sulfur dioxide produced when fuels burn in vehicles?
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is produced when gasoline, diesel fuel and coal or oil, all of which contain sulphur, are burned in vehicles. Sulphur is not needed so is let out as a waste product and therefore is let off by the vehicle.
How is sulfur dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels?
Sulphur is contained in most fossil fuels, it burns as well. Answer: Sulfur in fossil fuels is present as sulfides, disulfides and mercaptans. The followig ist is brief comparison of the expected (nonnumeric) amounts to be expected by fuel type: * Coal - Low to High Sulfur content* Bunker Oil - Low to High Sulfur content* Heavy Diesel - Low to High Sulfur content * Diesel/Furnace oil - Low sulfur* Gasoline - Low sulfur * Butane - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant )* Propane - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant ) * Methane - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant ) * Natural Gas - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant ) * Sour Natural Gas - High sulfur* Refinery Off Gases - Low to High Sulfur content
An element that gives off a strong odor?
sulfur
What does coal do to damage the environment?
Coal is a chemically complex fuel. Whenever it is burned, gases are given off and particles of ash, called "fly ash," are released. The sulfur in coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which can be a major source of air pollution if emitted in large enough quantities. It can affect people breathing problems and be very dangerous in the future
Oxygen is added to an ecosysem by?
Oxygen is given off by plants as they absorb carbon dioxide. It's like how animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, except plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
Is an acidic gas given off when you burn sulfur?
Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.
What chemical is given off in a burning flame?
The principal components are carbon dioxide, water, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, soot.
What chemicals are pruduced when coal is burnt?
When coal is burnt it gives an off-put of carbon dioxide plus sulfur dioxide. this is bad as it goes into the atmosphere and can produce acid rain. acid rain is when sulfur dioxide is mixed with water vapour creating acid this then falls as rain
What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?
Sulfur Dioxide is given off by coal-burning power plants
What does sulfur dioxide inditcate about a volcano's activity?
well, in my perspective it tells us the story of when i fell off a bike.
How to clean mushrooms?
Cleaning mushrooms isn't all that hard. All you have to do is rinse them off, just like rinsing off grapes. You might have to scrub off some dirt. Ta-da! You now have clean mushrooms.
What compound is always given off when a substance burns?
There is no deffinite answer. If Sulfur burms SO2 is given off. If Magnesium burns, MgO is produced. If a hydrocarbon burns Carbon Dioxide and water are given off.
Can you survive with out trees or plants?
No, because plants clean the air of carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
Are gases that are given off by volcanoes minerals?
No, gases given off by volcanoes are not minerals. Minerals are solid substances with a specific chemical composition and atomic arrangement. Volcanic gases, on the other hand, are elements and compounds that are in a gaseous state, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and various other gases.

What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
Are grapes living?
No they are not while off their vines.
