Despite its benefits, gasification presents potential health risks, particularly if systems are poorly managed or malfunction. Exposure to syngas components, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, can be hazardous. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause poisoning, while hydrogen sulfide is known for its "rotten egg" smell and can be toxic at high concentrations. Proper monitoring and safety protocols are essential to mitigate these risks and protect workers and nearby communities.
