Exposure to hydrogen sulphide and respiratory function.
TL;DR: It is concluded that exposure for a relatively short time to hydrogen sulphide concentrations appreciably higher than those existing in ambient air do not cause noticeable effects on respiratory function.

The South Karelia Air Pollution Study. The effects of malodorous sulfur compounds from pulp mills on respiratory and other symptoms.
TL;DR: The paper mills in South Karelia, the southeast part of Finland, are responsible for releasing a substantial amount of malodorous sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and methyl sulfides into ambient air, which has an effect on eye, nasal and respiratory symptoms, and headache in adults.

The South Karelia Air Pollution Study: Effects of Low-Level Exposure to Malodorous Sulfur Compounds on Symptoms
TL;DR: The results indicated that adverse health effects of malodorous sulfur compounds occur at lower concentrations than reported previously.

The South Karelia Air Pollution Study: The Effects of Malodorous Sulfur Compounds from Pulp Mills on Respiratory and Other Symptoms in Children
TL;DR: The results suggest that exposure to malodorous sulfur compounds may affect the health of children, and long-term exposure to these compounds released from pulp mills is a determinant of eye and respiratory symptoms and headache in children.

The South Karelia Air Pollution Study: acute health effects of malodorous sulfur air pollutants released by a pulp mill.
TL;DR: The strong malodorous emission from a pulp mill caused an alarming amount of adverse effects in the exposed population and more eye, respiratory and neuropsychological symptoms occurred during the exposure compared to the reference period.
