H2S – The Silent Killer
The primary method of H2S exposure is through inhalation, where the gas is rapidly absorbed by the lungs. People can sometimes smell the “rotten egg” odor of hydrogen sulfide when lower concentrations of the gas exist. However, after continuous low-level exposure, or with higher concentrations, a person loses his/her ability to smell the gas which means you can NOT rely on your sense of smell to indicate the presence of hydrogen sulfide.
