I believe that you are referring to a natural gas link occurring in the home, most commonly in the kitchen. Normally, as a safety precaution, the household gas has a "rotten egg" smell so you can detect leaks. There are natural gas detectors.
The amount of harm that a leak can do is related to the concentration of gas. The most immediate danger of a leak is fire. It is interesting that the related link suggests leaving the house, and then making a phone call, as calling from your house can cause a spark.
Natural gas if inhaled for a long period can cause asphyxia, the loss of oxygen. This is particularly dangerous for the elderly.
I have added a second link, from Citizen's Gas, which includes many safety suggestions. They also comment on the dangers of carbon monoxide from car exhaust and furnaces, which can cause miscarriages.
See related links.
