how do you detect sulphur dioxide in the air, without fancy equiptment?

Barry's Response - Angela:

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a heavy, colorless gas with an odor like a struck match; sulfur dioxide can irritate the eyes, nose and respiratory tract. That's probably the easiest way to identify it in an acute basis.
