And what do we have here, some sulphide shelf, maybe? #fungifriends #fungifriday

Pentlandite:
- A sulphide mineral
- Normally forms during the cooling of a sulphide melt
- An important nickel ore
- Named after Joseph Barclay Pentland (1797-1873), a naturalist who discovered the mineral in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada #minerals

Today's #JanuArty theme is "clothing". So, um, here are some zinc sulphide particles clothed in alumina. Cozy. Zinc sulphide decomposes under UV light, but a 3nm coating of Al2O3 protects it.

High levels of methane and hydrogen sulphide were reported leaking from gas wells in BC, @writermjs.bsky.social and @zakvescera.bsky.social social found during an investigation into the BC Energy Regulator #bcpoli

An illegal landfill isn't just unpleasant - breathing in hydrogen sulphide & methane, chemical pollutants seeping out from a huge, unlined, unfiltered, poorly managed tip - none of this is good for the health of people, wildlife or waterways.

Covellite:
- Copper sulphide mineral
- Forms in the oxidation zone of copper sulphide deposits
- Can be produced by sulphate reducing bacteria in anaerobic conditions
- Named after Niccolo Covelli (1790-1829) who discovered it on Mount Vesuvius #minerals

This morning. Some call hydrogen sulphide the smell of rotten eggs. I call it the aroma of biochemically available high energy electrons. #MicrobialCentrism @ASMicrobiology @univpugetsound

Planet smells like rotten eggs, study finds
Most of HD 189733 b's atmosphere is hydrogen sulphide, which is also emitted during farts.

The James Webb Space Telescope may have found that an exoplanet 124 lightyears away, K2-18b, has water and dimethyl sulphide in its atmosphere. The astronomers won't want to overstate but I'm here to tell you: that means that that planet smells like cabbage.

They taught us in school you can recognise hydrogen sulphide by its rotten egg smell but who has ever smelled actual rotten eggs? Why are your eggs going rotten? It's the other way round - they taught us what rotten eggs smell like by giving us a whiff of hydrogen sulphide.

Be right back, off to test dire wolves for dimethyl sulphide emission. @adamrutherford.bsky.social, want to collaborate?

PFAS, PCBs, hydrogen sulphide, cardiac + breathing conditions - the people who say living near landfill is harming their health.

For some, the smell brings on nausea and headaches. Others fear ‘forever chemicals’ seeping into the water

A thread of festive minerals for the festive season ✨✨

1) Carrollite - a copper / cobalt sulphide, forming silvery crystals. Named after Carroll County, Maryland.
December 14, 2024 at 8:52 AM
Carrollite is a sulphide that rarely tarnishes and retains a bright, light grey metallic lustre.

On these beautiful crystals, the growth striations form magnificent abstract patterns

It is a gas called dimethyl sulphide (DMS). On Earth, the gas has just one source. It is “only produced by life”, Nasa explains, mainly by “phytoplankton in marine environments”. 3/3

"hermit crabs use odour cues emitted by the smell of dead conspecifics to locate available shells. The chemical compound contributing to this smell is dimethyl sulphide (DMS), which is also emitted by marine plastic"

this bit is really interesting
