Resulting from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, hydrogen sulfide is present in many water supplies. Sewage and industrial wastes are other sources of sulfide pollution. Highly toxic, this compound has a characteristic rotten egg odour, which can be detected long before harmful concentrations are reached. In the HS-C kit, sulfide discolours a detection paper. Results are obtained by comparison of the colour to a printed chart.
