The chemical that is added to propane to make it have that rotten smell is Methanethiol. It is released for some types of plants when they are rotting. Methanethiol gas is listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet to be flammable, so if there is a large amount of gas hanging in the air it has the potential to combust.

The purpose of the propane odor additive is to give propane a distinct smell that is easily detectable. This helps in detecting leaks or potential hazards because the strong odor alerts people to the presence of propane gas in the air, even at low concentrations. This early warning allows individuals to take necessary precautions and address any leaks before they escalate into dangerous situations.
Adding a distinctive smell to odorless liquid propane gas is an example of a preventive mitigation activity, as it aims to reduce the risk of accidents by making leaks easier to detect.
