Frequently Asked Questions

At what ppb can you smell H2S?

Most people can detect the characteristic rotten egg odor of H₂S at concentrations as low as 0.5 to 10 ppb. However, odor detection thresholds vary significantly between individuals. Importantly, at higher concentrations H₂S causes olfactory fatigue — meaning the smell disappears even as dangerous levels persist, making instrument-based monitoring essential for reliable safety.
