    Same here. Our house is less than 300 m away from a creek and we never had problems with our AC.

    Well as i said if you can smell it then yes you have a problem. If there is no smell like rotten eggs then the creek emits no corrosive gases.

    Oh. There's no bad smell from the creek.

    Kawawa houses near Manila bay at old Paranaque (near St Andrew's). Dumidikit sa ilong yung amoy.

    Correction I think my house is less than 100 meters from the creek. inside the house i don't smell anything, but if i go out near the creek on summer, it smells bad.

    i think i will try condura Extreme. advertised as more durable in 'corrosive areas'.


    Thanks

    from what i understand, corrosion is hastened in areas exposed to seawater vapor, and in areas with access to geothermals.

    sir yebo tanong lang may tendency ba na sa swamp / creek pwedeng maka abot ng 12ppm? may certain point na ang H2S pag umabot sa mataas na PPM may tendency sya na hindi maamoy di ba?

    The more na naamoy mo sya mas "safe" (basta pasok sa LEL), the more na hindi mo maamoy (since unang papatayin ng H2S eh yung pang amoy) mas delikado? CMIIW.

    If i remember right nasa 100 ppm ang level at which the sense of smell does not detect both H2S and SO2. 700 ppm is fatal, 1000 ppm is instant death. The sense of smell can also be deadened at lower concentrations with prolonged exposure. For example you can still smell it at 50 ppm but after some time you will not smell it anymore.

    Pwede umabot sa higher concentrations sa swamp, creek, etc depende sa source of the H2S. If raw sewage is being dumped into it then one can expect a lot of H2S being emitted. Combine that with poor ventilation and you have a recipe for an accident waiting to happen.
