VLISEDIS , ABSTRACT A method for the determination of sulfate and sulfide sulfur that occur together in rocks or minerals is presented. All the sulfate sulfur is converted to barium sulfate in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation of any sulfide sulfur. Cadmium chloride is added to precipitate any sulfide ion that may be liberated. The sulfate sulfur is then measured indirectly by the determination of the barium and is therefore unaffected by any. subsequent oxidation of the sulfide sulfur. -

Hydrogen Sulfide Public Health Statement
PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT Hydrogen Sulfide Division of Toxicology and Human Health Sciences December 2016 This Public Health Statement summarizes what is known about hydrogen sulfide such as possible health effects from exposure and what you can do to limit exposure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are sites targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. U.S. EPA has found hydrogen sulfide in at least 34 of the 1,832 current or former NPL sites. The total number of NPL sites evaluated for hydrogen sulfide is not known. But the possibility remains that as more sites are evaluated, the sites at which hydrogen sulfide is found may increase. This information is important because these future sites may be sources of exposure, and exposure to hydrogen sulfide may be harmful. If you are exposed to hydrogen sulfide, many factors determine whether you’ll be harmed. These include how much you are exposed to (dose), how long you are exposed (duration), and how you are exposed (route of exposure). You must also consider the other chemicals you are exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health. WHAT IS HYDROGEN SULFIDE? Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a flammable, colorless gas that smells like rotten eggs. People usually can smell hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations in air, ranging from 0.0005 to 0.3 parts hydrogen sulfide per million parts of air (ppm). At high concentrations, a person might lose their ability to smell it. -
Hepatotoxicity-Induced by the Therapeutic Dose of Acetaminophen and the Ameliorative Effect of Oral Co-Administration of Selenium/ Tribulus Terrestris Extract in Rats

Al-Doaiss1,2 AL-DOAISS, A. A. Hepatotoxicity-induced by the therapeutic dose of acetaminophen and the ameliorative effect of oral co-administration of selenium / Tribulus terrestris extract in rats. Int. J. Morphol., 38(5):1444-1454, 2020. SUMMARY: Over dose or long-term clinical use of therapeutic doses of acetaminophen (APAP) causes hepatotoxicity. Various strategies attempted to ameliorate APAP-hepatotoxicity have been found to be unsuitable for clinical practice. This study was aimed to illustrate the histopathological changes induced by therapeutic dose of APAP and investigate the hepatoprotective role of oral co- administration of selenium/ Tribulus terrestris (TT) extract concurrently against hepatotoxicity induced by APAP in rats. Fifty-four healthy male albino Wistar rats were randomized into nine groups (G1–G9) of six rats each, and administered with APAP and TT orally for 30 days as follows: Control (2ml normal saline), APAP (470 mg/kg), APAP (470 mg/kg) + selenium (2 mg/kg), APAP (470 mg/kg) + TT (98 mg/kg), APAP (470 mg/kg) + selenium (2mg/kg) + TT (98 mg/kg), APAP (470 mg/kg) + silymarin (200 mg/kg), selenium (2 mg/ kg), TT (98 mg/kg) and silymarin (200 mg/kg) groups. The results demonstrated that exposure of rats to therapeutic dose of APAP for 30 days caused significant histopathological changes parallel to elevated blood chemistry parameters. -

Hydrogen Sulfide Fact Sheet
Hydrogen Sulfide Fact Sheet What is hydrogen sulfide? Hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases, and hot springs. It can also result from bacterial breakdown of organic matter. It is also produced by human and animal wastes. Bacteria found in your mouth and gastrointestinal tract produce hydrogen sulfide from bacteria decomposing materials that contain vegetable or animal proteins. Hydrogen sulfide can also result from industrial activities, such as food processing, coke ovens, kraft paper mills, tanneries, and petroleum refineries. Hydrogen sulfide is a flammable, colorless gas with a characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is commonly known as hydrosulfuric acid, sewer gas, and stink damp. People can smell it at low levels. What happens to hydrogen sulfide when it enters the environment? • Hydrogen sulfide is released primarily as a gas and spreads in the air. • Hydrogen sulfide remains in the atmosphere for about 18 hours. • When released as a gas, it will change into sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid. • In some instances, it may be released as a liquid waste from an industrial facility. How might I be exposed to hydrogen sulfide? • You may be exposed to hydrogen sulfide from breathing contaminated air or drinking contaminated water. • Individuals living near a wastewater treatment plant, a gas and oil drilling operation, a farm with manure storage or livestock confinement facilities, or a landfill may be exposed to higher levels of hydrogen sulfide. • You can be exposed at work if you work in the rayon textiles, petroleum and natural gas drilling and refining, or wastewater treatment industries. -
