Abstract: Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a gas that can be generated in nature whenever organic material containing sulphur is present and oxygen is depleted. In addition it can be generated in several industrial settings. It is difficult to predict the rate of gas emission from biological processes, but evidently H2S, when generated, may rapidly reach lethal levels. There is an additional risk in that the unpleasant smell of the gas disappears before harmful levels are reached. H2S must therefore be regarded... more
Hydrogensulfid (H2S) er en gass som kan produseres i naturen når organisk materiale som inneholder svovelforbindelser nedbrytes uten tilførsel av oksygen. I tillegg utvikles gassen i forskjellige industrielle prosesser. Hvilke konsentrasjonsnivåer som kan oppstå fra biologiske prosesser er vanskelig å forutsi, men det er vist ved flere tilfeller at konsentrasjonen av gass hurtig kan bli meget høy. Hydrogensulfid har en kraftig og ubehagelig lukt, men ved høye konsentrasjoner vil luktecellene lam... more
