Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a very toxic gas. H2S binds to an important enzyme in cells in the human body so that these cells cannot produce energy and cause death in humans.

H2S causes serious health problems:
- Hard to breathe
- Irritation to eyes and skin
- Body disorders: The victim feels weak
- Digestive disorders: The victim feels nauseous and then vomits
- Head disorders: Headache and dizziness
- Seizures
- Death

H2S can be found at:
- Sewerage, including septic tanks
- Waste Water Treatment Installation
- Areas that produce oil and gas
- All factories (paper mills, steel and others)
- Volcanic area
- Places to decompose organic materials
- Basement

Some ways to protect yourself from H2S:
- Always be aware of all areas you visit, because H2S can be everywhere
- Use PPE when working in areas where H2S may be present, such as Confined Spaces and others
- Use a Gas Detector
- Leave the place immediately if there is a suspicious smell

Warning: No drug can treat H2S. If you are exposed to H2S, seek medical help immediately to prevent death!
