Hydrogen Sulfide Human Health Effects

The influence of hydrogen sulfide on human health has been a concern since ancient times. Hydrogen sulfide has a pungent odor of rotten eggs. Although it exists occasionally in nature, excessive exposure is harmful to human health.

Looking back at the past, where hydrogen sulfide is flooded, people initially feel olfactory discomfort, and its odor is very strong, which is easy to cause irritation of the nose, pharynx, and throat. During a long time, the eyes may have tingling, redness, and swelling, and the vision is blurred. What's more, breathing is also disordered by it, with shortness of breath, frequent chest tightness, and hindered lung and visceral functions.

When hydrogen sulfide enters the body, it can disrupt the nervous system. People may feel dizziness, headache, trance, and memory decline. If the poisoning is serious, convulsions and coma are not uncommon, endangering life.

As for the protection strategy, although the ancients did not have the complete equipment today, they also knew to avoid a place with a strong odor and choose a well-ventilated place to live. When working, they will also cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth to slightly reduce the harm.

Today, the awareness of the hazards of hydrogen sulfide is more detailed, and the protection method is more and more comprehensive. Looking back at the past, the sense of its harm is also the basis for protecting health in future generations.
