Why is a Gas Leak Dangerous?
Gas leaks are hazardous due to the fire and explosion risk as both natural gas and LPG are extremely flammable. Even a small spark from static electricity or an electrical appliance can cause the gas to ignite.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur when gas escapes creating a potentially fatal environment around the leak. Carbon monoxide, when inhaled, is quickly absorbed into the blood can lead to nerve and tissue damage, and possibly death.
