Smokeless M/L mishap - Page 3

You said,''Anyway, the danger of hydrogen sulfide in a confined space, such as the inside of an empty oil storage silo, is the fact that the human nose loses its ability to smell the stuff after a minute or so of exposure so you may indeed succumb to H2S without even being aware that you are being exposed to it."

And that is very true. Our workers would constantly report that the "nasties" had dissipated and that there was no need to ventilate. (Setting up the ventilation and working around it was a pain in the neck.) This is because as you say, the workers' noses became desensitized. Our attitude was that if they could smell anything when entering the space, we ventilated for the duration of the stay. That was as much for comfort as for safety.

Guys.... the whole Hydrogen Sulfide thing is a teeny, tiny part of discussion. I agree that there is likely not enough H2S in the smoke to be harmful. Let's forget all about the Hydrogen Sulfide. Take it right off the list of negatives. Ok?

Now, let's debate the major issues.

That's OK, I think I saw it on Mythbusters once...or was it Capt. Kirk on Star Trek? Ahh, whatever, I forget. I'm sure I could Google it.

Until then? I'm staying smokeless!!

Thanks Doc ... as you may know I've been recoverin' and stayin' alive.

I was refered here to see if the site was up from one of the guys on my BPR
Forum. I see it's up and workin' jus' fine.
Glad to see all is well and the people that don't know a dang thing about grace and honor in a forum conversation are still at it only under differant names ranting the same dull useless words.
I've got nothin' to say to those people who think modern inlines are black powder Muzzleloaders that should only be shootin' smokeless...same goes for those playn with reproduction revolvers and too much of a smokeless load.
I'm not too into this conversation Doc but wanted to say hi.
So i best leave beforeit kills me sittin' here readin' this crap.
My opinion and it's my $.02

Laters,
