How do you get methane in your body?

Answer 1

The common name for methane is swamp gas. Methane is also called natural gas.

Methane comes from coal mining. It can also be made from "cracking" coal or oil and from any waste organic material including animal faeces (feces).

Methane is produced in the stomach of ruminant animals (sheep, cows) which is then expelled from their digestive system back into the atmosphere. Methane is a green house gas.

It is a hazard in mines as it is odourless in it's natural state but highly explosive. In New Zealand in 2010, a mine explosion killed 27 men who were trapped due to an earlier explosion.

Methane has an odour added to it when sold to prevent it leaking undetected and then exploding. This became law in the United States after 311 people were killed at a school in New London, Texas in 1937. The rest of the world soon followed suit.

Answer 2
