1-1-02 | vinylsidingman

Posted on 01/01/2002 8:00:29 AM PST by vinylsidingman

I'm trying to help neighbor find out what his 17 old would be doing with several ampules of ammonium sulfide.

From what i've been able to find on the net this is not a very safe thing for teens, or anyone without experience to have.

Thanking freepers in advance for comments

It sounds like something that could go into meth. But it's also part of what mcveigh used in his bomb.

From MSDS:
Contact with acids may evolve hydrogen sulfide

You've been around hydrogen sulfide. It's that rotten egg smell at a marsh or in stagnant water. It's a byproduct of anaerobic bacteria, and pretty toxic.

Doesn't have much use as a poison, though, because it's so dang stinky. It's a big part of what makes sewage smell bad.

I'm going with the stink bomb hypothesis. Iron filings and sulphuric acid will do it too.
