摘要: Background Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, odorless gas that may cause rapid loss of consciousness and respiratory depression without warning. It has produced toxicity in workers numerous industries occupations. Methods A review the United States Bureau Labor Statistics (USBLS) Census Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) for occupational deaths related to hydrogen from 1993 1999 was performed. Results Fifty-two died this 7-year period. Deaths were most commonly reported who white (85%), male (98%), their first year employment with company (48%). Common included waste management, petroleum, natural gas. In 21% cases, co-worker simultaneously or attempt save workers. Conclusions Hydrogen uncommon, but potentially deadly. Toxicity predominantly new fatalities occur significant minority cases. Proper training education on warning signs help reduce worker fatalities. Am. J. Ind.
