“…Inhalation of high H 2 S concentrations can cause poisoning that has an electric shock-like effect on the human body, resulting in sudden death. The degree of harm caused by H 2 S is higher than that caused by carbon monoxide. , Current antidotes for H 2 S poisoning have limited efficacy, which renders gaseous H 2 S as one of the leading causes of deaths by acute poisoning in occupational environments. , In industrial activities, the emission levels and concentrations of H 2 S-containing gas mixtures are often unknown, which poses challenges for preventing and controlling H 2 S poisoning. , …”

The use of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising solution for sequestering toxic hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S). To find the best conditions for improving the H 2 S adsorption performance, we conducted grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations based on high-throughput screening of 20 selected materials. Furthermore, we used lithium-ion doping to modify materials that showed potential for further improvement. Density functional theory calculations helped us identify lithiumion doping sites. Our findings revealed that lithium-ion doping could effectively increase the H 2 S adsorption capacity of the original MOF structure. Among all of the doping methods, doublesided opposite doping showed the most notable improvement in the H 2 S adsorption capacity of MOFs. Lithium-ion doping altered the H 2 S-molecule adsorption sites in the MOFs, shifting from dispersion to concentration. This change in adsorption sites was caused by the modification of van der Waals and electrostatic forces between molecules, where van der Waals forces played a dominant role. The research findings indicate that not all lithium-ion doping methods could enhance the H 2 S adsorption capacity of MOFs. When double-sided misaligned doping sites are used, certain materials (QUQGAL and HIKQOK) may exhibit a decreased adsorption capacity. This study provides a theoretical foundation for applying lithium-ion doping to improve H 2 S adsorption on MOFs.

An in-depth investigation of an unusual, non-enclosed manure storage hydrogen sulfide-induced fatality on a Holstein beef production operation is presented. The case involved several factors that likely played a role in the young farmer's death. These included zero wind movement, a reported temperature inversion in the area, relatively cool late summer outdoor temperatures on the morning of the incident, higher outdoor temperatures the week prior, and a high by-product steer ration containing ingredients that contributed significant sulfur content to the stored manure. Recommendations are offered for future research to determine the combinations of conditions and inputs that have potential to increase human and animal risk around manure storage structures. Based on this case and others recently documented showing unsafe levels of hydrogen sulfide being released from similar outdoor storages, it is critical that agricultural industry experts and input suppliers continue to analyze risk and consequences associated with new management practices, processes, inputs (including feed ingredients and animal bedding), machines, and other technology developed to support animal agriculture. Production practice and educational guidance are also offered based on this case and published literature.
