Remember–from Jim's table– 1000ppm will cause immediate unconciousness.
1000ppm is equivalent to 1 milliliter(100%H2S)/liter. One shallow breath is
approximately 1 liter. So all that needs to be evolved near your snout is 1 to
2 mls of H2S to put you down. A pound of sulfide ore in acid sould provide
more than that I think. Haven't done the stoichiometry yet.
