Description

Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with a distinct odor of rotten eggs. It can be found naturally in crude petroleum and natural gas, as well as in volcanic gases and hot springs. Hydrogen sulfide is also produced by industrial and agricultural activities, such as oil refining and manure management. Exposure to hydrogen sulfide can be toxic and even lethal at high concentrations. Proper monitoring and management of hydrogen sulfide are essential to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
