About this document
Maine Hydrogen Sulfide Air Guidelines by fridz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides guidelines for ambient air concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. It summarizes its key sources as including volcanoes, swamps, wastewater treatment plants, and landfills. Short-term (acute) exposure at 30 ppb can cause headaches and nausea in humans. Long-term (chronic) exposure at 1 ppb can cause nasal inflammation in animals. Monitoring data from landfills in Maine show occasional spikes above 30 ppb but 24-hour averages below 1 ppb.
