[quote:donivan.:MV8yMjY2NTc2XzM4NTI0MTkxX0NFRDdEMzM5] H2S gas is very soluble in water and is very dangerous in high concentrations. It is a common byproduct of oil and gas production, due to its origins. It is created from decomposing biomass. I grew up in a small town were a release killed a whole family, it is just not from oil and gas production. Sewers, paper mills, even large fish tanks do produce Hydrogen sulfide. Colorless, heavier than air, has a rotten egg smell, first symptom of exposure is that it will paralyze olfactory nerves in the nostrils. Smelling it for very long is out of the question, this is at low concentrations 3-5 ppm. Above 500 ppm it will cause death, 1000+ ppm immediate death. It paralyzes the diaphragm making it impossible for any thing to breath. Dangerous stuff for sure. Dangerous enough that I am required to wear a monitor that goes off above 10 ppm, and have stationary monitors all over the facility I work at. [/quote]

lies in the Black Sea
Which is the remnant of the Tethys Sea-Tethys Ocean
Ancient Sea that is
You know why it's called Black?
Because of the Hydrogen Sulfide that lies at its bottom.
Do you know what happens if the HS is released in the air? Every one on the radius of effect dies in under a minute or so.
"The hydrogen sulfide rich waters of the Black Sea pose a potential danger for the surrounding land regions. The impact of an asteroid may cause a catastrophic poisonous gas release in the atmosphere."

you know also that in 2 years they plan to start drilling gas from under the continental platform of the Black Sea?
