A 60‐ml sorption cell utilizing 0.5 mil PVC membranes permeable to H 2 S is described. NaOH is used as the sorbing solution. The cell is capable of detecting H 2 S in soil zones containing < 0.1 ppm in groundwater over short and prolonged periods of anaerobic flooding under conditions of a fluctuating water table.
