    This raises a question; I have heard before that sulphuric fumes are
    carcinogenic, but aren't those of us in urban areas, particularly
    those with air pollution, exposed to a low level of such fumes
    constantly? Sulphur dioxide pollution in the US is measured by the
    EPA in the millions of tons per year. 

    How dangerous are the fumes from a pickle pot in comparison to the
    fumes which we have all been breathing constantly since birth?
