Hydrogen Sulfide Detected at Utica Mine in Angels Camp
Angels Camp, CA...The privately owned Utica Mine located in Angels Camp has been identified as the source of a local hydrogen sulfide release. The City of Angels Camp and other partners conducted air and water sampling in the area. Findings show a concentration ranging from 2-3 parts per million of hydrogen sulfide in the air at the entrance of the mine. Surrounding waterways are being monitored to ensure environmental and public safety.
Hydrogen sulfide is a flammable, colorless gas known for its pungent “rotten egg” smell. Although people are known to smell the gas at levels of 0.0005 parts per billion to 0.3 parts per million, it takes much higher levels to pose an immediate threat to human health.
People can be exposed to hydrogen sulfide by living or working near contaminated water ways or breathing contaminated air. Exposure to hydrogen sulfide may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat and possible respiratory and nervous system complications. Possible signs and symptoms of prolonged exposure can include:
Eye irritation
Nose irritation
Throat irritation
Memory loss
Difficulty breathing in people with asthma
Headaches
While the hydrogen sulfide does not pose any immediate health threats, it is recommended that individuals stay away from the area surrounding Utica Mine and Angels Creek while hydrogen sulfide is present. Calaveras County Public Health Officer, Dr. Rene Ramirez states, “At this time, the hydrogen sulfide gas concentrations found at the Utica Mine are at mildly elevated levels. Prolonged exposure may cause a range of mild symptoms which may be compounded in sensitive individuals, those with underlying health issues or respiratory problems, young children or elderly adults. Those who live or work near the area should be cautious about the possible signs and symptoms that hydrogen sulfide exposure can cause.” Dr. Ramirez adds, “The best way to avoid harm is to keep clear of the Utica Mine entrance and Angels Creek while the hydrogen sulfide is detected.” Signage is posted at Angels Creek indicating that it will be closed until further notice.
Personal protective equipment is highly recommended for anyone going near the exposure site. Chemical safety goggles, a face shield, a full face respirator, and protective clothing are preferred. Fit testing is highly recommended for respirators.
Frequent water and air monitoring will be taking over the place to ensure that hydrogen sulfide concentrations do not rise to dangerous levels.
For more information regarding hydrogen sulfide, please visit CDC or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
If you are experiencing symptoms related to hydrogen sulfide exposure, contact your primary care provider. Call 9-1-1 for emergencies.
For questions and concerns regarding environmental issues, please contact Calaveras County Environmental Health at 209-754-6399.

Hydrogen sulfide.
How about arsenic, lead, mercury, and all those things left by the mining companies.
Cue to the dotard blaming Native Americans for Global Warming.

Ever wonder why people who live near mines are a little bit different.

My goats put out more than that, I was wondering why a Libtard was seen chasing them with some kind of a detection monitor, which has to go into the #2 area, he gave up, winded and out of energy! We saw him thro a dart at his dart board which gave him the answer he had been looking for! Hee Hee

No, your goats do not produce hydrogen sulfide. This the same gas that was released in the Ohio train crash and potentially dangerous to humans. Betting the park area will need to be cordoned off for a time while investigated.

I was going to sell my home to some rich gay bay lib. Then, I had to disclose my community houses a large population of dotards. When I finally got a buyer, the house sold to a 5th generation inbred for much less than the appraisal.

Anyone else dealing with this quandry? Listening to the network news this morning, a topic came up too.a story regarding things in our homes that put off noxious gasses, some of which, can cause cancer! This expert said we should keep one window open to have a fresh air exchange, now this story! I don’t know if it is safe to go outside, or stay in my home! The open window idea is a little difficult this time of year when the outside temp on my thermometer is just a tinge below 32. Any ideas to those of you out there?
