Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 7e AB - Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic, flammable, colorless gas that is heavier than air. It is produced naturally by decaying organic matter and is also a by-product of many industrial processes. Hazardous levels may be found in petroleum refineries, tanneries, mines, pulp-making factories, sulfur hot springs, carbon disulfide production, commercial fishing holds, hot asphalt fumes, and pools of sewage sludge or liquid manure. It sometimes is referred to as "pit gas." There have been reports of suicide by mixing acid-containing household cleaners with calcium sulfide–containing bath salts to generate hydrogen sulfide gas.
