Emergency Overview
Appearance/Odor
Colourless. Gas. Typical gas smell due to addition of odouriser to allow the detection of product leaks..
Health hazards
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. High gas concentrations will displace available oxygen from the air; unconsciousness and death may occur suddenly from lack of oxygen. Exposure to rapidly expanding gases may cause frost burns to eyes and/or skin. Safety Hazards : Extremely flammable. May form flammable/explosive vapour- air mixture. Electrostatic charges may be generated during handling. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Inhalation : High gas concentrations will displace available oxygen from the air; unconsciousness and death may occur suddenly from lack of oxygen. Exposure to high gas/vapour concentrations may lead to narcotic or anaesthetic effects that may impair judgement or lead to central nervous system depression. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light- headedness, headache and nausea. Signs and Symptoms : Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light- headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death. H2S has a broad range of effects dependent on the airborne concentration and length of exposure: 0.02 ppm odour threshold, smell of rotten eggs; 10 ppm eye and respiratory tract irritation; 100 ppm coughing, headache, dizziness, nausea, eye irritation, loss of sense of smell in minutes; 200 ppm potential for pulmonary oedema after >20-30 minutes; 500 ppm loss of consciousness after short exposures, potential for respiratory arrest; >1000ppm immediate loss of consciousness, may lead rapidly to death, prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be required. Do not depend on sense of smell for warning. H2S causes rapid olfactory fatigue (deadens sense of smell). There is no evidence that H2S will accumulate in the body tissue after repeated exposure.
