Guidelines
  • LEL = 5%, UEL = 15%. Ensure ventilation, use gas detectors, and comply with methane emission regulations.
Health effects
  • Short-term:Methane is non-toxic, but it can displace oxygen, leading to suffocation or dizziness in high concentrations.
  • Long-term:No direct health effects, but it contributes to global warming as a potent greenhouse gas.
