Sulfur dioxide testing


Would using a potassium permanganate soaked stop of paper work as a testing strip for sulfur dioxide. Or is their a less toxic and dangerous way to test for sulfur dioxide. I know potassium dichromate is usually use for that, but I would prefer to use something less carcinogenic



Elements Collected: 19/81 (Excluding all radioactive, using placecard for those)

Any tips or good sources are welcome.

Chemistry is Inherrently Dangerous.

If carcinogenicity is a problem, re-examine the route or the tollerable risks and certainly the waste disposal strategy.

Following Standard safety procedures means you'll generally be fine.

Safe Disposal of Waste generally means you wlll not kill your neighbours, and they will not kill you for poisoning their soil.

Potassium permanganate will oxidize the paper and give a positive result by itself.
