Christmas Eve, Adell Wisconsin: Santa lands with sour gas leak and ordered evacuations; Is AI why the news didn’t warn the community that H2S damages the brain and nervous system, even in low concentrations? “The smell of sulphur lasted longer than it normally does.”

Vital 2017 reference:

New Study: Sulfide-producing bacteria dominate hydraulically fractured shale oil & gas wells. “An estimated 70% of waterflooded reservoirs world-wide have soured.”

Sour Gas damages the brain, even at very low levels:After I posted these years ago (thanks to Diana Daunheimer finding them), they vanished offline. Gotta keep the people ignorant that the rich are poisoning for profit

1. Exposure to levels below 10 ppm permanently damage the human brain

2. Harm from levels below 10 ppm by Worksafe AlbertaThis now grossly goes to a UCP gov’t propaganda page about jobs. FFS. Some of those jobs kill.

3. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) LOW LEVEL HEALTH HARM WARNINGS:

Sour Gas Concentration (ppm)

Symptoms/Effects

0.01-1.5

Odor threshold (when rotten egg smell is first noticeable to some). …

2-5

Prolonged exposure may cause nausea, tearing of the eyes, headaches or loss of sleep. Airway problems (bronchial constriction) in some asthma patients.

Hydrogen sulfide is used or produced in a number of industries, such as

  • Oil and gas refining
  • Mining
  • Tanning
  • Pulp and paper processing
  • Rayon manufacturing

… Because it is heavier than air, hydrogen sulfide can collect in low-lying and enclosed spaces, such as manholes, sewers, and underground telephone vaults. Its presence makes work in confined spaces potentially very dangerous.

The health effects of hydrogen sulfide depend on how much H2S a worker breathes and for how long.

However, many effects are seen even at low concentrations. Effects range from mild, headaches or eye irritation, to very serious, unconsciousness and death.

This web page provides information on how hydrogen sulfide can affect your health, where you might find it, and how to prevent harmful exposures.

Evacuation orders lifted after gas leak scare in Sheboygan County by tmj4, Dec 26, 2025

SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Wis. — Residents in Sheboygan County have returned to their homes following a Christmas night evacuation caused by a natural gas release at a pipeline facility. TC Energy officials tell WISN 12 News they responded at around 11:20 p.m. Thursday to their Kewaskum Compressor Station near Adell, Wisconsin. 

A viewer shared a video with WISN 12 News, along with a screenshot of a notification sent out to those living in the area. “Residents in Beechwood, Wisconsin, within 1 mile of the ANR pipeline facility should evacuate to the fire department,” the public safety alert said.

Residents described hearing a loud noise, with some saying on social media it sounded like they were in the middle of a hurricane. 

“Our first concern is the health and safety of the community, our workers, and the environment,” the company said in a statement to TMJ4 News.

Local officials evacuated a small number of nearby residents out of an abundance of caution, but the evacuation has ended, according to both TC Energy and Sheboygan County emergency response officials.

TC Energy personnel remain on site and are working closely with first responders, landowners, local utilities and regulatory authorities.

The leak occurred on TC Energy’s ANR Pipeline system. There are no impacts to natural gas service to customers at this time, the company said.

Norfolk Co, Ontario: Brain and nervous system harming H2S leaking from gas well. Wise Norfolk county residents (suffering many health harms) urge fast action on the toxic sour gas leaks. Geochemist: It’s ‘by far the largest problem in Ontario’ of its kind. And there’s the serious climate harming impact too.

Cenovus (Encana spawn) Frac’d the Caprock? Three months later, Rush Thermal SAGD blowout spewing deadly H2S (and possibly benzene and toxic frac chemicals) that impacted Poundmaker Cree Nation and others, finally stopped. Keeping you in the dark as they poison you and your loved ones is what they do best. Sour gas damages the brain even in tiny amounts; harms kid’s DNA from several km away! Regulator will “outline remediation requirements” *after* the leak is stopped. What ass backwards bullshit is that?

Wheatley Ontario: Industry’s sour gas leaks again. 60 homes evacuated; residents must avoid downtown. Low levels H2S damage the brain but authorities lie to protect criminal oil and gas. If you smell it, your nervous system and brain are being damaged. PS Fixing oil and gas industry greed and negligence rarely (if ever) works.

Texas Permian Basin: Aghorn Operating Inc. and VP Trent Day Plead Guilty in Hydrogen Sulfide Deaths. Oilfield worker Jacob Dean and his wife, Natalee, suffered fatal H2S exposure at work site; their kids suffered non fatal exposure (now brain damaged?). Aghorn and Kodiak Roustabout Inc. entered guilty pleas, will pay $1.4 million in fines; Trent Day sentenced to 5 months in prison. When executives kill or sicken workers and neighbouring families/livestock with industry’s sour gas in Canada, they stay free. Lucky Gwyn Morgan (ex CEO Encana)

New research: Fossil fuel pollution irreversibly harms kids’ brains, including causing cancer. Imagine babies born into and growing up in bitumen, H2S and or frac fields (rampant in Alberta) where crews spew clouds of diesel fumes and facilities blast out mystery chemicals 24/7 for years on end as they frac and refrac and refrac. No wonder Albertans vote so stupidly.

New evil low (copying the UK?): Ontario turns H2S gas well into water well to make citizen pay (up to $900,000.00) to plug it. What will investors, insurance and finance think of this crass oil & gas industry-enabling fraud by authorities?

Nakoda Nation, Alberta: 1988, Engineer reported hundreds of drinking water wells contaminated with sour gas on Stoney Reserve west of Calgary. H2S is deadly, damages the brain even at low levels. AER blamed nature and if not nature, then bacteria. Same blame game polka after frac’ing contaminated drinking water wells with gas at Ponoka, Wetaskiwin, Spirit River, Rockyford, Rosebud, Redland, etc.
