Guidelines
- OSHA recommends using gas detectors in confined spaces and ensuring proper ventilation to keep natural gas concentrations below explosive limits.
- Follow local regulations for natural gas storage and emissions to avoid hazards.
Health effects
- Short-term: Methane displaces oxygen in the air, leading to dizziness, headaches, or suffocation in high concentrations.
- Long-term: No direct toxic effects from methane, but long-term exposure in confined spaces without proper ventilation can lead to asphyxiation.
