What are the hazards of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to human health? What is the concentration of hydrogen sulfide stipulated in the Coal Mine Safety Regulations?
Hydrogen sulfide has strong toxicity, irritates human eye membranes and respiratory system, hinders the oxidizing process of human body, and makes the human body lack of oxygen. When the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the air reaches 0.0001%, the human sense of smell can smell the odor; hydrogen sulfide concentration reaches 0.0005%, in a few hours after the occurrence of mild poisoning, serious saliva and clear nose, breathing difficulties; hydrogen sulfide concentration reaches 0.02%, people will be severely poisoned, dizziness, headache, vomiting and limb weakness; hydrogen sulfide concentration reaches 0.05%, people will soon When the concentration of hydrogen sulfide reaches 0.05%, a person will quickly lose consciousness and have spasms, and if not rescued in time, there will be a danger of death; when the concentration of hydrogen sulfide reaches 0.1%, a person will die in a very short time.
