These vapor releases aren't the norm. However, when they do happen you have to be prepared and properly equipped. As an example, if I'm delivering to an oil rig the first things I'm doing is checking windsocks, whether H2S is present and if so getting my H2S monitor clipped on my safety vest. I locate the upwind muster areas, then exit the truck and proceed with my business.
Has my H2S monitor ever gone off? No. Is H2S lethal? Yes. The chances of something happening are slim. The rig operators focus on safety. But every year good men die from H2S exposure.
Stuff happens. Be ready.

I wore them for a long time, and had issues with.organic dust from chickens causing irritation, and a subsequent scar on one cornea.
When I did haz-mat tanker work, it was observed that contact lenses and anhydrous ammonia were something not to be mixed, and that is a good thing to remember. Any chemical that draws water from anywhere, including your eyes should be treated the same way.
On another note, I farmed with contacts and never had trouble like what got me away from contacts until I started hauling chickens.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
