right, Art, but a lot of people think they can tell if sulfur dioxide is high by the smell, and the smell they're checking for is the rotten egg smell much of the time. Civil Defense is trying to get people to understand that S02 safety levels can't be determined by an individual call, but rather, people need to pay attention to the monitored levels and take the issue seriously when there's an advisory or alert instead of blowing it off.
