Because H2S is heavier than air, it may settle in low spots. This can pose risks when entering areas where the gas may be present. H2S burns and explodes easily. When it burns, H2S gives off sulphur dioxide, another dangerous gas that is toxic, strong smelling, and irritating.
What can cause H2S to explode?
Heat from fire can cause a rapid build-up of pressure inside cylinders. Explosive rupture and a sudden release of large amounts of gas may result.
Can hydrogen sulfide be ignited?
In addition, hydrogen sulfide is a highly flam- mable gas and gas/air mixtures can be explo- sive. It may travel to sources of ignition and flash back. If ignited, the gas burns to pro- duce toxic vapors and gases, such as sulfur dioxide.
