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.

What does coal give off?

it gives of carbon dioxide when it is burned


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?

Carbon dioxide is the gas given off. Oil also gives off the same gas when burned.


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


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?
