Colorless gas with typical sulfide odor except when pure. ... Soluble in water and alcohol. Derivation: Hydrolysis of ammonium or potassium thiocyanate. ... Hazard: Narcotic in high concentrations. Flammable, explosive limits in air 12-28.5%. 6, record 1, English, - carbon%20oxide%20sulfide

It cannot be excluded that a certain but quantitatively unknown fraction of the SO2 found within the stratosphere originates from the photodissociation of carbonyl sulfide (CSO) as suggested by Crutzen (1976). CSO has been discovered in tropospheric air where it is probably produced from biological and industrial sources and behaves as a relatively inert gas. 7, record 1, English, - carbon%20oxide%20sulfide

Le dioxyde de soufre est, par exemple, une espèce dont les nuisances sont bien connues en raison de son caractère acidifiant. Cependant, il existe de nombreux autres dérivés, tels que le sulfure de carbonyle (COS), le sulfure de carbone (CS2), les sulfures organiques gazeux et l'hydrogène sulfuré (H2S) introduits à la fois par les processus naturels et par les activités humaines. 6, record 1, French, - oxyde%20sulfure%20de%20carbone
