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.

What type of gas is Methane?

Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).


What gas is poisonous?

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It can be emitted from sources such as car exhausts, faulty gas appliances, and tobacco smoke. Inhaling carbon monoxide can lead to symptoms like headache, nausea, dizziness, and even death.


What is the poisonous gas produced by cows?

Cows emit methane, mostly from the front, but a smaller amount from the rear. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Scientists are experimenting with different kinds of cattle feed to try and reduce the amount of methane produced. However it is also down to the efficiency of the animal to convert feed more efficiently that makes for less methane production. You can have any type or kind of feed that, theoretically, reduces methane production from the belching or flatulence of cattle, but it is more down to the animal's ability to convert the feed efficiently than the feed itself that may help reduce the greenhouse gas methane. Genetics that make cattle more efficient at gaining weight on roughages like grass and hay can make them highly efficient at gaining weight on high-concentrate rations than cattle that do not grow well on grass alone.


Is methane a natural gas?

Yes, methane is a type of natural gas. It is a hydrocarbon gas that is the primary component of natural gas found in the earth's crust. Methane is released during the production and extraction of natural gas.


Common name for methane?

The common name for methane is marsh gas. Methane is a colorless flammable gas and is the main component of natural gas.

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.


Are there any poisonous gases on the planet Saturn?

Saturn is gaseous. It is one of the gas giants so it doesn't have a solid surface. Out of the many gases, there are poisonous ones like methane.


Does Jupiter have poison gas?

Yes, Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other gases such as methane and ammonia. These gases are not poisonous to humans, but the extreme conditions of Jupiter's atmosphere, such as high pressure and temperature, make it inhospitable for life as we know it.
