Abstract: Anew fluorescence fiber optic sensor for sulfur dioxide measurement has been described.Quinine dissolving in internal solution was used as a sensitive material.The internal solution layer was separated from the aqueous solution by a gas-permeable membrane.The response range of the sensor for sulfur dioxide is from 3×10-4 mol/Ldown to 3×10-6 mol/L.Reproducibility, stability, resp-ponse time and selectivity of the new fiber optic sensor are reported.With this sensor, practical samples containing sulfur dioxide were measured.The results are compared to measurments with iodime-try.
