"Swamp gas" usually applies to volatile chemicals released from swamps or bogs when organic material ferments (rots). The chief component is usually methane (CH4), which is normally colorless but can suspend liquid particles (mostly water) to appear as a cloud.

Swamp gas from landfills is now sometimes used as natural gas (biogas) by removing contaminants from the methane.
