| - Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a type of colorless volcanic gas. The surface of the planet Alpha Onias III contained high, but non-toxic levels of sulfur dioxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. (TNG: "Future Imperfect" )
- Hydrogen sulfide was a compound used by the Fire Breathers. It was coupled with methane for a combustible mixture that would destroy virtually anything in their paths.
- Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one of sulphur (H2S). It is a gas at room temperature. It is also highly toxic. It is commonly formed when organic compounds containing sulphur decompose in the absence of oxygen. It's smell is characteristic of decomposing egg yolks (which are rich in sulphur) and provides most of the odor of flatulence (which is mostly odorless methane). One of the pranks Lisa Cuddy plays on House when she takes over half his office in Let Them Eat Cake is to spill some hydrogen sulfide on his desk just before she leaves for the day. In Two Stories, House releases hydrogen sulfide into the clinic to clear it out so he won't be seen stealing Cuddy's laptop from her office.
- Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H2S . It is a colorless gas with the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs; it is heavier than air, very poisonous, corrosive, flammable, and explosive. Hydrogen sulfide often results from the bacterial breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen gas, such as in swamps and sewers; this process is commonly known as anaerobic digestion. H2S also occurs in volcanic gases, natural gas, and in some sources of well water. It is also present in natural halite type rock salts, most notably in Himalayan Black Salt, which is mostly harvested from the mineral-rich "Salt Range" mountains of Pakistan. The human body produces small amounts of H2S and uses it as a signaling molecule. Dissolved in water, hydrogen sulfide is known as hydrosulfuric acid or sulfhydric acid, a weak acid. Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele is credited with having discovered hydrogen sulfide in 1777. The British English spelling of this compound is hydrogen sulphide, but this spelling is not recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry or the Royal Society of Chemistry. In 2014, hydrogen sulfide under high pressure was found to undergo superconducting transition at 190K (-118 °F; -83.33 °C), the highest temperature superconductor known to date.
- When the Engineers resort to anaerobic digestion for food, bacteria in its anaerobic sacs convert the organic material to energy. This process gives off trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide.
