Hydrogen Sulfide Lethal Mechanisms

On the deadly mechanism of hydrogen sulfide
Hydrogen sulfide, the genus of poisonous gas, is also worthy of in-depth investigation.

The nature of hydrogen sulfide is stinky and highly toxic. When it enters the human body, it passes through the path of respiration, reaches the lungs quickly, and then seeps into the blood, and flows around the body with the veins. The first to bear the brunt is the nervous system. Hydrogen sulfide can combine with certain proteins and enzymes in nerve cells, disturbing their normal biochemical reactions and causing disordered nerve conduction. For example, the neural function of the brain is so chaotic that people gradually lose their mind and become unconscious.

Furthermore, hydrogen sulfide is harmful to the cellular respiratory mechanism. Cells depend on respiration to survive, and mitochondria are the important places for respiration. Hydrogen sulfide can inhibit key enzymes in mitochondria, such as cytochrome oxidase. If this enzyme is blocked, cells cannot use oxygen as usual, and energy production is suddenly reduced. Cells are like an army of food deficiency, and their function is gradually lost, and eventually they die. And hydrogen sulfide can also damage the cardiovascular system, causing loss of vasomotor, impaired blood pumping function of the heart, poor circulation, and aggravating damage to the whole body.

In addition, hydrogen sulfide also has a strong effect on stimulating corrosion in the respiratory mucosa. At first, it causes mucosal redness, swelling and pain, followed by ulceration, airway obstruction, and more difficult breathing. This is also one of the causes of death. Looking at it, hydrogen sulfide harms the human body in multiple ways, causing severe damage to the nervous system, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system, ultimately claiming lives. It is also a terrible poison.
