Hydrogen sulfide poisoning in forensic pathology and toxicology: mechanism and metabolites quantification analysis

Historically, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) poisoning has extremely high and irreparable mortality. Currently, the identification of H2S poisoning needs to combine with the case scene analysis in forensic medicine. The anatomy of the deceased seldom had obvious features. There are also a few reports about H2S poisoning in detail. As a result, we give a comprehensive analysis of the related knowledge on the forensic aspect of H2S poisoning. Furthermore, we provide the analytical methods of H2S and its metabolite-which may assist in H2S poisoning identification.
