indicates that the concentration from May 2 through May 7 exceeded the
odor threshold and Physical Health Symptom concentrations. The
Hydrogen Sulfide concentrations on May 3, 5 & 6 exceeded the
Physical Reaction Symptoms concentrations by a factor of 100 to 120
times. The Physical Reaction Symptoms have been reported by
individuals living and visiting in Venice.
