Mercaptan won't kills, its an harmless gas but unable to tolerate with its pungent smelling. Just imagine the smelly socks, rotten vegetable, or foul smell of bad breath; mercaptan's smell is very close to these.
1 ppm of mercaptan in 1 million standard cubic feet (mscf) of natural gas would be equivalent to 1 pound of mercaptan.
A compound called mercaptan is added to LPG to detect its leakage. Mercaptan is a sulfur-containing compound that gives LPG a distinctive smell, making it easier to detect any leaks as it has a strong odor.
When was mercaptan first added to gas in the U.S.?
Mercaptan is a colorless gas with decaying or rotting, putrid or fetid smell.
Yes, mercaptan can react with copper to form copper mercaptide complexes. This reaction can lead to odorant fading in natural gas distribution systems where copper is used.
Tetrahydrothiophene and amyl mercaptan are examples; but ethyl mercaptan is preferred now.
Ethyl mercaptan is not an oil.
1 ppm of mercaptan in 1 million standard cubic feet (mscf) of natural gas would be equivalent to 1 pound of mercaptan.

Yes, mercaptan is flammable. It is a sulfur-containing organic compound that can ignite and burn in the presence of an open flame or high heat. Proper safety precautions should be taken when handling mercaptan, as its flammability and strong odor can pose risks in various environments.
