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.
