[QUOTE="simme, post: 1695526, member: 40418"] Hydrogen sulfide has a rotten egg odor. It is detectable by smell at low levels. But, your sense of smell is overwhelmed by the odor in just a few minutes and you do not smell it any more even if it is still there. My work career was related to pulp and paper mills. It is a danger of the pulping process particularly where pulp has overflowed and accumulated in a poorly ventilated area. The surface sort of seals over as it drys, but when the material is disturbed, it can release the hydrogen sulfide quickly. Cleaning out an out of service tank is a hazard. Sewage treatment systems and manure pits also produce it. In the industrial world, a hydrogen sulfide monitor would be required on each person as well as an air test of a tank or pit prior to entry. Farmers are generally not big on safety, but a monitor like this could save a life. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.industrialsafetyproducts.com/bw-bwc2-h-clip-single-gas-meter-h2s/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
