The primary safety hazards of hydrogen are fire (and the resulting burns since a hydrogen fire is not easily visible) and explosion if the hydrogen is compressed in a cylinder.

It is difficult to suffocate in hydrogen, although not impossible, because the gas is very light, rises to the ceiling, and easily exfiltrates through seams and small fissures in structures.

What do you mix with hydrogen that smells like rotten egg?

When hydrogen is mixed with sulfur, it can produce hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a gas known for its characteristic smell of rotten eggs. This compound is highly toxic and can be found in natural sources such as volcanic gases and hot springs. Safety precautions are essential when handling hydrogen sulfide due to its hazardous nature.

Which is more dangerous hydrocarbons or hydrogen fuel?

Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
