This has led to "inspectors" running around with H2S meters trying to determine if a home is contaminated. The problem with this is that there are at least 5 toxic sulfides being found on a regular basis in the contaminated drywall. Hydrogen sulfide is only one of those compounds. As a matter of fact, we have had laboratory results come back with as many as four of the toxic sulfides and not include hydrogen sulfide. In these cases the meters would have done no good. It is very important to get this right. It would be a shame if someone had their home checked with a meter, given the all clear, only to find out down the road that their home was contaminated with other sulfides. The only known way to extract these contaminents is in a laboratoy setting , under controlled conditions. Therefore, if you suspect you have a problem, have the home inspected, sampled, and analyzed. Deal with a company that uses an experienced laboratory with proper protocol.
