Harm Of Natural Gas Leakage

Natural gas is an important energy, which has been widely used as a city gas and industrial fuels, but when the natural gas in the air reaches a certain extent, it may cause asphyxia. Natural gas is not toxic, and it is essentially harmless to the human body. But if natural gas is in the state of high concentrations, there will be not enough oxygen in the air to sustain life, which will cause a person's death. After all, natural gas can not be used for human breath. In addition, as the fuel, natural gas will cause casualties by explosion.

Although natural gas is lighter than air and is easy to diverge, but when natural gas accumulate in the house or other closed environment and reaches a certain proportion, it will trigger a powerful explosion. The explosion may level the entire house, and even bring disaster to the neighboring buildings. By the way, the explosion lower limit of methane in air is 5%, and the upper limit is15%.

In view of the harm of above leakage of natural gas, in order to monitor whether there is a gas leak and to protect our life safety, gas detector has become the necessary safety equipment. Gas detectors can alert people in the initial stage of natural gas leakage, which will be helpful to prevent the happening of accidents.
