Golden Rules for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
Golden Rule #1: Always understand and respect the hazardous properties of H2S
Table 1 Hydrogen Sulfide Hazards - OSHA
Footnote: The exact concentration and exposure time at which different physiological effects occur is not known precisely
and different industry bodies use slightly different boundary levels to categorize the physiological effects including fatality.
The table published by OSHA should therefore only be used as an approximate guide to manage the H 2S hazard, especially
at higher concentration levels. Source: OSHA [7]
