Which of the following is NOT a potential effect of hydrogen sulfide gas?

Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea

The correct answer is: Fatigue

Though fatigue can occur due to various factors, it is not universally recognized as a direct effect of hydrogen sulfide gas exposure. On the other hand, headache, dizziness, and nausea are commonly reported symptoms associated with inhalation of hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic gas that can irritate the eyes and respiratory system, leading to immediate and distinct symptoms such as headaches and nausea. Dizziness is often a result of its effects on the nervous system and can occur even at low concentrations. Fatigue, while a potential outcome of many health conditions or even prolonged exposure to various environmental stressors, is less specifically linked to hydrogen sulfide exposure compared to the other symptoms mentioned. Therefore, in the context of immediate physiological responses to hydrogen sulfide, fatigue does not stand out as a significant or primary effect.
