Multicenter StudyA multicenter retrospective survey on a suicide trend using hydrogen sulfide in Japan.
In Japan, suicide by inhaling hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by mixing commercial products escalated into a nationwide trend in April 2008. ⋯ Mortality (58%) among patients who attempted H2S suicide was very high, likely resulting from inhaling high concentrations of H2S after mixing commercial products in a sealed and confined space.
