Thank you Scott. My tired old lazy brain couldn't remember the term Hydrogen Sulfide so I skipped it when I wrote that.

Anybody who has walked around in the muck of a pond or swamp, and got the rotten egg smell, has experienced the effects of H2SO4.



Hydrogen sulfide is H2S, a toxic gas with a "rotten egg" smell. H2SO4 is sulfuric acid, also known as battery acid, and an entirely different chemical.
