- CCOHS: Hydrogen Sulfide
Other Names: H2S, hydrogen sulphide, sour gas, sewer gas Main Uses: Manufacture of other chemicals; manufacturing processes; environmental contaminant; by-product of industrial processes Appearance: Colourless gas Odour: Rotten eggs Sickening sweet odour at high concentrations Can dull the sense of smell Canadian TDG: UN1053
- Understanding the Dangers of H2S: Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Explained
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas that poses significant health risks This article explores H2S properties, its industrial sources, and health effects, including respiratory problems and cellular damage Learn about H2S safety protocols, exposure limits, and mitigation strategies to minimize its hazards in various environments, including workplaces and natural settings
- CHEMINFO: Hydrogen sulfide - CCOHS
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is most commonly encountered occupationally as an environmental contaminant (see Uses and Occurrences) However, it is also available commercially in grades of 99-99 99 mole% minimum H2S (liquid phase) Most H2S is made and used captively (i e at the site of production) or transported over several kilometres by pipeline

- CCOHS: Occupational Hygiene - Occupational Exposure Limits
What are the occupational exposure limits? Back to top In general, the occupational exposure limit (OEL) indicates the level of admissible exposure, for a length of time (usually 8 hours), to a chemical or physical hazard that is not likely to affect the health of a worker
- Understanding the H2S Compound: Properties and Industrial Applications
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) compound is a toxic, flammable gas with a characteristic odor Learn about its chemical properties, health effects, and industrial applications Discover how H2S is used in various sectors, its environmental impact, and safety measures for handling this hazardous substance, including odor threshold and sulfide compounds

Occupational Hygiene - Occupational Exposure Limits CCOHS Threshold Limit Value – Short-term exposure (TLV-STEL):
- CCOHS: Respirators - Respirator Selection
What are "immediately dangerous to life or health" (IDLH) considerations? Back to top Some types of atmospheres place the worker in immediate danger because the concentrations of hazardous contaminant would impair the ability to leave the work area (self-rescue) or potentially cause irreversible health effects, serious injury, or death in a matter of minutes
