TWA: 1ppm
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a colourless, toxic, flammable gas that is known by its characteristic rotten egg-like odour.
One of the drawbacks to trusting the senses (olfactory) for protection against Hydrogen Sulphide is that prolonged exposure to the gas renders the sense of smell. H2S reacts with the enzymes in the bloodstream which inhibit cell respiration. In other words, high concentrations of H2S can shut off the lungs. Low concentration exposure to the gas can burn the respiratory tract and cause swelling around the eyes.
In addition to being harmful to human health as an asphyxiant, hydrogen sulphide is both flammable and explosive.
Hydrogen Sulphide is generated through the hydrolysis of sulphide salts especially where bacteria break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, e.g. in swamps, sewers, rivers, harbours, etc. It also occurs as a man-made by-product in such industrial facilities as chemical plants, paper mills, oil refineries, etc.
