Why is it important?
Nasal mucosa was the most vulnerable part to H2S effect. Inhalation of H2S produced upper respiratory tract epithelial damage that led to bleeding from nose, pharynx, gum, tongue, trachea, and bronchi.
Perspectives
There was significant toxicant-induced damage of H2S on the upper respiratory tract especially bleeding from several parts after subchronic exposure to low concentration of H2S.
