    Author: Campanyà M, Sanz P, Reig R, Nogué S, Obiols J, Freixa A, Corbella J.
    Journal: Med Lav; 1989; 80(3):251-3. PubMed ID: 2796835.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of fatal hydrogen sulfide poisoning are described which occurred during cleaning of a tank that had transported polysulfides. The most characteristic findings of the autopsy were: a blackish-green pigmentation at macroscopic examination; pulmonary edema, steatosis, intrahepatic cholestasis and renal tubular necrosis at microscopic examination. The blood concentration of sulfide ions exceeded 3.5 mg/l. These cases are compared to others described in the literature. The preventive measures that should be adopted to avoid this type of poisoning are stressed.
