Safety aspects of the effects of hydrogen sulphide concentrations in natural gas

Health and Safety Executive did not have the information requested.

Dear Health and Safety Executive,

Re: Safety aspects of the effects of hydrogen sulphide concentrations in natural gas.

Around the year 2000, the HSE commissioned a report from WS Atkins Consultants Ltd on the safety aspects of the effects of hydrogen sulphide concentrations in natural gas. (ISBN 0 7176 1839 0).

Could you advise if the issue has been investigated again by HSE, when and how can I access these reports?

Yours faithfully,

Angus Gill
