Sulfur dioxide would be considered to have short term toxicity because it produces its deleterious effects rather quickly. Once it reacts, it's done with its damage. It can be severely corrosive to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. It can cause chemical severe burns. Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Exposure can exacerbate existing conditions where eyes, respiratory system or skin is already damaged. Once the eyes, respiratory system or skin are damaged, it can result in a chronic condition, but this is due to the existing damage rather than persistent toxicity of the sulfur dioxide.

What is the electron configuration of sulfur longhand version?
The electron configuration of sulfur (long) is: 1s22s22p63s23p4. The electron configuration of sulfur (short) is: [He]3s23p4.
If it takes oxygen gas O2 12.5 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take sulfur dioxide gas SO2 to diffuse from the same container?
17.6 - 17.7 secconds
How long will it take sulfur dioxide gas SO2 to diffuse from the same container?
I add 25ppm of SO2 (PMBS) to 59 gallons (barrell) of wine - stir gently. How long will it take to diffuse in the wine so it evenly dispursed in the wine?
What long term effects does not having enough carbon dioxide have on the body?
When the body doesn't have enough carbon dioxide in the blood, blood vessels will constrict. This is a long-term effect of having low levels of carbon dioxide.
What is the difference between long-term earthquakes and short-term?
long term earthquakes are earthquakes that are for a long period of time and short term earthquakes are when the earthquakes are for a short period of time
Is sulfur dioxide a pure substance?
It can be, as long as no other substances are present.
What is the electron configuration of sulfur longhand version?
The electron configuration of sulfur (long) is: 1s22s22p63s23p4. The electron configuration of sulfur (short) is: [He]3s23p4.
What effect does sulfur dioxide have on the human body?
Exposure to very high levels of sulfur dioxide can be life threatening. Exposure to 100 parts of sulfur dioxide per million parts of air (100 ppm) is considered immediately dangerous to life and health. Burning of the nose and throat, breathing difficulties, and severe airway obstructions occurred in miners who breathed sulfur dioxide released as a result of an explosion in a copper mine. Long-term exposure to persistent levels of sulfur dioxide can affect your health. Lung function changes were seen in some workers exposed to low levels of sulfur dioxide for 20 years or more. However, these workers were also exposed to other chemicals, so their health effects may not have been from sulfur dioxide alone. Asthmatics have also been shown to be sensitive to the respiratory effects of low concentrations of sulfur dioxide.
What can sulfur do to you?
Pure sulfur isn't too bad for you. You can safely ingest a reasonable amount of it, and it would not cause long term effects if you wash your eyes if it gets in there. But if you heat it, it releases sulfur dioxide and that isn't exactly healthy for you.
What type of disease does sulfur dioxide affect the most?
Long-term exposure to persistent levels of sulfur dioxide can cause chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and respiratory illness. It can also aggravate existing heart disease.Prolonged industrial exposure to sulfur dioxide may decrease fertility in men and women.Short-term exposure to sulfur dioxide can cause stomach pain, menstrual disorders, watery eyes, inhibition of thyroid function, loss of smell, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, convulsions, and dizziness.Sulfur dioxide affects the respiratory system, particularly the lungs. Increased amount of SO2 in the air may cause burning of the nose and throat.The sulfur dioxide mostly affect disease related to respiratory system in mammals and birds.
If it takes oxygen gas 12.5 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take sulfur dioxide gas to diffuse from the same container?
17.7 seconds
If it takes sulfur dioxide gas SO2 20 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take helium gas He to diffuse from the same container?
5 seconds

What research has been done on selenium toxicity?
researchers speculate that the organic forms of selenium may accumulate in the body and interfere with the functioning of sulfur molecules in the body, or that they may cause genetic mutations. These long-term questions await further research
