title: Study of bisulfite and metabisulfite aerosol generation systems.
abstract: Sulfur (IV) aerosols may be generated only as the fully neutralized sulfite by nebulization techniques. Attempts to generate bisulfite and metabisulfite aerosols result in the production of sulfite aerosols and large amounts of SO2. Previous toxicologic studies on metabisulfite and bisulfite aerosols apparently documented the effects of high concentrations of gaseous SO2.
