Hydrogen Sulfide Suicide Awareness

If you want to do an inservice check with your local haz mat guru... Theres some bulletins they can probably get to you.

I've seen a few of these covered by various media, and as far as I recall in each case there were signs made by the person committing suicide that there was a hazardous substance in the car. Hopefully we won't see anything like this anymore, but if the trend does in fact continue, I hope the trend of warnings continues as well.

We had one of these about a year ago in a rural part of our county, but near a recreation area. Fortunately the vehicle was well marked. It was a Haz Mat nightmare though.

If memory serves me, Cyanide is supposed to have a "burnt almond" smell. Everyone keep that in mind, too.
