Resulting from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, hydrogen sulfide is present in many water supplies.
- Most economical method for determining hydrogen sulfide content in water samples
- Uses reliable, cost effective color comparison method
- Treated reagent papers are supplied for 100 tests; effervescence tablets are supplied for 18 tests
Sewage and industrial wastes are other sources of sulfide pollution. Highly toxic, this compound has a characteristic rotten egg odor, which can be detected long before harmful concentrations are reached. In the HS-C kit, sulfide discolors a detection paper. Results are obtained by comparison of the color to a printed chart.
