Hydrogen sulfide is found at depth in the oceans, either as a product of inorganic processes deep in the Earth, or as a biological byproduct. A large ocean impact (or a series of impacts from a former single object that broke up) would release that. However, with large impacts, that wouldn't be the only problem. :')
