First of all, methane (CH4) is explosive. It's not merely flammable in its gaseous state. Methane, though not toxic, can displace oxygen and an individual in a methane infiltrated environment can asphixiate. It is also rates fairly high as a greenhouse gas, and its on the list of "bad" things in the atmosphere that contribute to the increase in the rate at which the earth is warming.

∙ 11y agoMethane is very flammable and can explode when mixed with air.
Apart from the fire risk, methane can displace oxygen and cause breathing difficulties.
Methane is also known to be one of the greenhouse gases, thought to contribute to global warming.

∙ 14y agoMethane is not toxic, but it is highly flammable. So there is risk of fire or explosion if it is mis-handled..

Did they find methane in the atmosphere of Mars?
Distribution of methane is in the atmosphere of mars.
Which two planets have methane gas?
Uranus and Neptune have large relative amounts Jupiter and Saturn have a small percent of methane
What planet has methane in its atmosphere?
Juipter
What gas gives Uranus a bluish color?
Neptune's atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane in Neptune's atmosphere absorbs the red light spectrum from the sun and reflects the blue light into space. This is why Neptune appears to be blue. The atmosphere of Uranus is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of ammonia. Uranus gets its blue-green color from methane gas also. Sunlight is reflected from Uranus' cloud tops, which are under the layer of methane gas. As the reflected sunlight passes back through this layer, the methane gas absorbs the red spectrum of the light, allowing the blue spectrum to pass through, resulting in the blue-green color that we see.
Is plouto a gas planet?
Pluto is the coldest and smallest planet in our great solar sytem. It appears to be a small methane ice ball and water mixed up with rock. it have a thin methane gas atmosphere.Pluto is the coldest and smallest planet in our great solar sytem.

Is methane safe?
No. Methane is toxic to inhale and very flammable.
Is methane harmless?
No. Methane is toxic when inhaled and highly flammable. Many people have been killed by methane explosions. It is also a greenhouse gas.
Do people have toxic farts?
Yes, to much methane can kill you.
Why is methan a good fuel?
methane is a good fuel because itsflammable and non toxic
Is methane good or bad to the environment?
Generally Bad. Methane is not toxic; however, it is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space.
What is most toxic greenhouse gas emission it is common around landfills and farms?
METHANE
Does natural gas release nitrogen oxide when burned?
Natural gases, are those comprised primarily of methane gas. When methane is burned, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). Methane is non-toxic, but is highly flammable.
Can you suffocate on Pluto?
As the atmosphere of Pluto is Methane, If you was suddenly exposed to it yes you would suffocate as there is no Oxygen for you to breathe. Methane by itself is not Toxic to us, but without the presence of Oxygen we cannot breathe.
Why is the bad smell from vent?
Carcinogenic sewer fumes such as methane,nitrous Oxide and other highly toxic gases
Is marsh gas poisonous?
Marsh gas is mostly methane. While it is not toxic, it can result in asphyxia if too much oxygen is displaced from the atmosphere.
Is methane gas poisonous?
natural gas and methane are not poisonous if breathed but will displace oxygen from air and will cause suffocation and is as well as explosive. it is a greenhouse gas and will cause global warming.
Is methane gas bad for the environment?
The gas Methane is not Toxic , however it is highly flammable and can form many explosive mixtures with air. It's violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space. Asphyxia may result if the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 19.5% by displacement. When structures are built on or near landfills, methane off-gas can penetrate the buildings' interiors and expose occupants to significant levels of methane.
