If you are trying to find out if there is a leak in a building, pet birds are a first indicator (if pet birds start dying for no apparent reason, there is a good chance there is some kind of gas leak somewhere in the building). Miners still use them as an early warning system. Your local fire department may have passive detectors, or should know where to get some. Flame ionization detectors are not necessarily a good idea in uncontrolled conditions, like a room full of gas, but are handy in a lab where it is well ventilated. IEEE has an article in the link below for an experimental version of remote detection, but they want you to buy the information. If you have a specific pipe you would like to check, the professionals use a thick dish soap smeared on the joints they are pressure testing (concentrated Dawn works best for me, I used to install freon tubing). If it bubbles, you got a leak.

Methane gas is a major contributer to to global warming and the Kyoto protocol seeks to regulate its production. Check out this website for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

Why do gas companies mix a smelly gas with methane?
Gas companies add a smelly gas, typically ethyl mercaptan, to odorless methane for safety reasons. This distinctive smell makes it easier to detect gas leaks, helping to prevent potential fires or explosions in case of a leak.
How does a plumber typically locate a gas leak in a residential or commercial property?
A plumber typically uses a gas leak detector tool to locate a gas leak in a residential or commercial property. This tool can detect the presence of gas in the air, helping the plumber pinpoint the source of the leak. Additionally, the plumber may also conduct a visual inspection of gas lines and fittings to identify any signs of damage or corrosion that could be causing the leak.
