Is the smell of sulfur dangerous?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

Hydrogen sulfide gas, also known as "sewer gas", is commonly associated with an odour of sulfur (because it is often produced as a byproduct during the breakdown of waste).

  1. This gas has a rotten egg-like odour in low concentrations.
  2. However, it is important to note that at high concentrations, this gas can lead to nausea and even be fatal.

Hence, the smell of sulfur is dangerous.
