Grave destructive changes of myelin nerve fibers in the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres were found in rats intoxicated with hydrogen sulfide gas of the Astrakhan gas deposit. Repeated exposures to natural hydrogen sulfide containing gas in subacute chronic intoxication (100 mg/m3 by H2S) damage predominantly myelin areas corresponding to myelin incisions which are most sensitive to this gas.
