ABSTRACT: Ambient concentrations of H2S were
determined by modeling the H2S emissions dispersion for three sites
located in the surroundings of oil and gas maritime terminal at the southeast
of Mexico. Hazard quotient is reported for different age groups. Paraiso City
in Tabasco State reported the highest values for over 19 years old group
(0.49). It was concluded that there was no threat to human health due to H2S
emissions derived from the maritime terminal for the studied sites.
