Hazards and Safety Measures for Hydrogen Sulphide Gas

 

Hazards and Safety Measures for Hydrogen Sulphide Gas

Introduction

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas is a colourless gas that is flammable, poisonous, and highly corrosive. It is commonly found in natural gas, petroleum, and volcanic gases. In high concentrations, H2S can pose a serious hazard to health and safety.

Major Hazards



Toxicity: H2S gas is highly toxic, and exposure to concentrations as low as 100 ppm (parts per million) can cause respiratory distress, headache, dizziness, and nausea. At higher concentrations, it can cause unconsciousness and death.

Flammability: H2S is flammable and can ignite in the presence of air or oxygen. In addition, it can form explosive mixtures with air at concentrations between 4.3% and 46%.

Corrosion: H2S is highly corrosive and can cause damage to metals and other materials.
