Hydrogen sulfide poisoning in forensic pathology and toxicology: mechanism and metabolites quantification analysis.

Historically, hydrogen sulfide (HS) poisoning has extremely high and irreparable mortality. Currently, the identification of HS poisoning needs to combine with the case scene analysis in forensic medicine. The anatomy of the deceased seldom had obvious features. There are also a few reports about HS poisoning in detail. As a result, we give a comprehensive analysis of the related knowledge on the forensic aspect of HS poisoning. Furthermore, we provide the analytical methods of HS and its metabolite-which may assist in HS poisoning identification.
