Earlier post "What are the concerns related to H₂S ?" has briefly discussed the concerns of Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S). There are mainly related to toxicity, flammability and corrosivity of H₂S. Following are few video clips related to H₂S. It provides some in depth understanding of H₂S gas.


H₂S Properties & Characteristic
- H₂S is a byproduct formed by decaying of organic matter
- It is toxic, explosive, flammable, corrosive
- Founded in Oil & gas, mining facilities, sewage, wastewater, land filled, etc
- Colorless gas
- Soluble in water
- Smell like rotten egg (sour gas)
- Burn H₂S formed SO₂, another toxic gas
- Can cause Sulfide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC)
