Cream Soda
This sample was submitted as a result of a complaint as to its
peculiar smell of sulphuretted hydrogen.
On examination it was found that there were slight traces of
sulphuretted hydrogen present, but these did not exceed 2 parts per
million. It appeared that the production of the sulphuretted hydrogen
was connected with the vulcanised rubber stopper. This matter was
taken up with the manufacturers and the local authority in whose area
the factory is situated.
