Sodium sulfide mumaanzi ibikkilizya H₂S, HS⁻, S2⁻, antoomwe ama sulfide aasidi aakonzya kunywika aali muzintu ziyumu, antoomwe amasulfide aatakwe buumi. Maanzi ajisi ma sulfide kanjikanji alibonya mbuli kuti maubauba mpawo ajisi kununkilila kupati, ikapati akaambo kakuzumanana kuzwa muya wa H₂S. Bantu balakonzya kubona haayidirojeni sulfide mumuwo kaili munsi a 8 μg/m3, mpawo mweelwe wa H₂S mumaanzi ngu 0.035 μg/L. Sodium sulfide.

Kuli maanda aakulida sodium sulfide mu Qingdao, Tianjin, antoomwe a Longkou, aakonzya kutuminwa ndilyona mpawo akwaabila nyika yoonse. Tyanka aawa kuti ujane muulo uugwisigwa.
