Natural gas is a kind of gas commonly used in our daily life. Natural gas is easy to use but also harmful. So, what are the hazards of natural gas?
1. Natural gas leakage can cause people to die from suffocation. The air that people depend on for survival contains about 20% oxygen. If your activity space is closed and the oxygen is thin, you will suffer from insufficient oxygen, suffocation, coma, and people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will be life-threatening. In a closed space, natural gas leakage will make the oxygen in the air relatively thin, which is naturally harmful. In this case, first close the main valve, turn off the power supply, the fire source, and open the doors and windows to allow air circulation.
2. The main components of natural gas are alkanes, alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, butane...) and a small amount of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Its combustible components are alkanes, which are colorless and odorless, and will not poison people (just suffocate people). ), the odorous is sulfur dioxide in it. Usually, if there is very little or no sulfur dioxide in the natural gas, a small amount of sulfur dioxide gas is added in order to make it easy for people to detect pipeline leaks by smell. Natural gas is not as toxic as coal gas (carbon monoxide), and natural gas is non-toxic.
3. Another hazard of natural gas is explosion. Usually the air contains a few percent of natural gas, which will explode immediately when encountering an open fire, endangering the safety of buildings and people's lives. Therefore, it is found that there is a natural gas leak in the room, and it is necessary to avoid open flames and cremation.
4. The home gas detector is suggested to install to avoid the accident.
