For a second, I thought you were going all Al Gore on us. ;-)

Good question, I guess that SO2 becomes corrosive at first place in combination with water in order to form H2SO3 or H2SO4. So, it depends from available water vapor, but I may wrong. Please remind, this is also a very, very thin SO2 atmosphere.

How corrosive is sulfur dioxide on Io?

Whoops. I left out one word unintentionally. It now reads “based on only two observations”, which should explain my comment.

Would you rather it had been based on computer simulations?
