Subject: [DCHAS-L] Luling Texas and Hydrogen sulfide
I have a friend who lives in Luling Texas and it has been reported that the hydrogen sulfide levels may exceed 300 ppm in the air at times, without the authorities doing anything. Has anyone had experiences with the oil industry and the release of methane and hydrogen sulfide in the air?
Who can the people contact? Would the chemSafety Board be a palace to start?
