Best Answer

Obviously not all gases are toxic, but in general, toxic gases tend to be so dangerous because they are gases. It is difficult to contain them once released into the air, and they mix easily with the air, so that even small amounts of a toxic substance are incorporated quickly.

Are any of the gases expelled from the body during a bout of flatulence toxic?

Yes. First, any of the gases found in flatulence - with the exception of oxygen - would be regarded as "toxic" if you had to exclusively breathe them. Such as hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It would not be so much that those gases are toxic, but that you were receiving toxic amounts. Secondly, methane is toxic, and less then levels of 100% could harm you. Thirdly, the amounts likely to be expelled during flatulence, are not going to poison anyone.
