Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The molecular structure of sulphur dioxide is void of any structural alerts or reactive groups that would necessitate expectation of explosive properties. Furthermore, gases do not need to be tested for explosive properties (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, section R.7.1.11.1).
