The unpleasant smell of natural gas is due to the addition of a chemical called mercaptan, which has a distinct sulfur-like odor reminiscent of rotten eggs. Natural gas itself is odorless, so this added scent serves as a safety measure to help detect leaks. If you smell gas, it's important to leave the area immediately and contact your gas company or emergency services.
