Description
Summary:•Hydrogen sulfide remains a significant occupational hazard.•Major environmental sources of hydrogen sulfide (U.S.A.) are pulp, paper, chemicals and petroleum refining.•High emission rates from oil and gas sites remain a hazard with no OSHA monitoring program.•Details of the mechanism(s) of hydrogen sulfide toxicity are incomplete.•There are currently no FDA-labeled antidotes or recommended treatment options for sulfide poisoning beyond supportive care.
