Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide was measured in a kraft pulp mill community continuously for a six-month period with AISI tape samplers with lead-acetate-treated filter tape. Two-hour hydrogen sulfide values ranged from zero to near 100 parts per billion. To evaluate validity of the results, simultaneous samples were collected and analyzed by the methylene blue procedure for three two-week periods. Similar results were obtained from the two methods of analyses. In addition, the presence of hydrogen sulfide and the general levels of pollution were determined through exposure of silver specimens. Results compared favorably with quantitative results. The procedures and results of the tests are presented.
