The atmospheric concentrations of several reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs) including H2S, CH3SH, DMS, CS2, and DMDS were measured concurrently from a series of field campaigns covering multiple locations in the surroundings of a large industrial region (August 2004 to September 2005). These field studies have been designed and undertaken to inspect the concentrations of RSCs in ambient air. The RSC concentrations were found to occur in a highly variable range. H2S (1.06 ± 2.07 ppb) was found to be the most abundant RSC followed by CS2 (0.84 ± 0.54 ppb), DMDS (0.36 ± 1.21 ppb), DMS (0.24 ± 0.83 ppb), and CH3SH (0.11 ± 0.23 ppb). The RSC levels measured at the study area were comparable to those observed previously from other polluted environmental settings. When these RSC data were examined further in terms of spatial (industrial vs. non-industrial sites) and seasonal (summer vs. winter seasons) grouping schemes, differences in their concentration levels were statistically insignificant in most cases. In contrast, there were fairly strong variations in temporal patterns over a diurnal cycle. If these RSC concentration data were converted to diagnose the malodor strengths, their effects were in most cases insignificant with minor contribution towards odor nuisances.
