HYDROGEN SULFIDE (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS WHEN CELLS ARE BROKEN WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION)

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Eyes. IMMEDIATE EFFECTS: Inhalation - headache, nausea, and difficult breathing, dizziness. The sense of smell may be fatigued over time. The odor and irritating effects do not offer dependable warning to workers who may be exposed to gradually increasing amounts and therefore become used to it. Eyes - irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane, tearing, sensitivity to light CHRONIC: Inhalation – Chronic poisoning results in headache, inflammation of the eyelids and the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids, digestive disturbances, weight loss and general weakness. Inhalation, Eyes, Skin, Ingestion. IMMEDIATE EFFECTS: Inhalation - dryness and irritation of the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Eyes - irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane, tearing, sensitivity to light Skin - irritation or abrasion from glass particles. Ingestion - possible abrasion of mouth and throat from glass particles. CHRONIC: Inhalation – Prolonged or repeated overexposure to airborne glass dust can lead to inflammation and scarring of lung tissue.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

TO HYDROGEN SULFIDE Preexisting upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but not limited to bronchitis, emphysema and asthma, pulmonary heart disease or eye problems. 1 of 6 GLASS PARTICLES EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO GLASS PARTICLES TO GLASS PARTICLES None known
