Hydrogen sulfide
- Molecular classification
- Gasotransmitter, Inorganic molecule
01
Overview
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a colorless, flammable, and highly toxic gas known for its characteristic "rotten egg" odor. Beyond its toxicity, it functions as an endogenous signaling molecule (gasotransmitter) playing roles in physiological processes. It acts as a chemical asphyxiant by inhibiting cellular respiration. Exposure symptoms vary by concentration, and it poses environmental hazards due to its flammability, heavier-than-air property, and potential for olfactory fatigue.
