Like it says. The homes around have maybe have an attic fan or no ventilation. There is over 20ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide in the air and it keeps coming. How do I know? Because of the symptoms. I'm going to have to evacuate soon. I do not wish to contact all the viruses they are sending up along with the potential cancer causing agents.
What should I do to save my health, the pets health and clean the home air?

How in the hell are they sending H2S into the homes? The only way I know of is through the sewer system and "P" traps should prevent that.
As I remember from my waste treatment days .. over 20 ppm is lethal. We used to carry pennies in our pockets and if they discolored, we bailed. In an enclosed space it would be lethal, but in the open the worst I got was the H2S sweats from over exposure. Found it: Hydrogen sulfide is regulated by OSHA and has a permissible exposure limit of 20 parts per million (ppm) ceiling concentration and a peak exposure limit of 50 (ppm) for no more than 10 minutes if no other measurable exposure occurs. Hydrogen sulfide can affect the body if it is inhaled or it comes in contact with the eyes, skin, nose or throat. It can also affect the body if it is swallowed. Inhalation of low concentrations may cause headache, dizziness and upset stomach. At higher concentrations hydrogen sulfide may cause loss of consciousness and death. Hydrogen sulfide has a strong odor of rotten eggs at low concentrations and a sweetish odor at higher locations. Odor should not be used as a warning of exposure since at concentrations of (20-30 parts per million) hydrogen sulfide may deaden the sense of smell by paralyzing the respiratory center of the brain and olfactory nerve. There are two types of respiratory protection acceptable for protection from hydrogen sulfide gas, SCBA or Supplied airline respirator. Respiratory protection should only be used if engineering controls are not feasible to control exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas. There are may incidents of on the job fatalities caused by hydrogen sulfide gas but with proper training, and monitoring equipment and safety and health procedures for entering confined spaces, employees can work safely without incident when encountering hydrogen sulfide gas at reservoirs and dams a |
