http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20170805-59352-USA
http://www.timesleaderonline.com/news/local-news/2017/08/st-clairsville-chemical-leak-leads-to-evacuations/

Quote: "Residents of a five-block radius around St. Clairsville's wastewater treatment plant were asked to evacuate their homes Friday morning due to a chemical leak. Cumberland Trail Fire Chief John Slavik said at about 9:30 a.m., his department received a call regarding an incident at the wastewater treatment plant in the vicinity of Legion Road. Officials determined the chemical that leaked was hydrogen sulfide, which can lead to serious health effects under prolonged exposure."

Note: Not just serious health effects under prolonged exposure, but death from one breath if the concentration in the air is 0.1% hydrogen sulfide or higher - the so-called 'Slaughterhouse Sledgehammer Effect', where you're dead before your body hits the ground...
