A design guideline for managing hydrogen sulfide and odours from wastewater systems.

Odour generated from wastewater is composed principally of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) but incorporates other volatile organic compounds such as mercaptans, acetates and amines (Harsham, 2008).

H2S inhalation can be fatal and great care should be taken around any potential sources.
