Natural gas is primarily composed of methane and is generally considered safe in its natural state. However, when inhaled in large quantities, it can displace oxygen in the air, leading to asphyxiation, dizziness, and unconsciousness. Additionally, exposure to natural gas can cause headaches, nausea, and respiratory issues due to its combustion products. Prolonged exposure to gas leaks may also lead to long-term health effects, including neurological damage.
Its immediate effect at least is corrosion of tissue.
About 80% of human exposure to radiation comes from natural sources, including outer space (cosmic rays), soil (terrestrial radiation), and radon gas. Cosmic rays contribute approximately 8% of this exposure, while radon gas accounts for about 55%. The remaining exposure comes from terrestrial sources and the natural radioactivity present in the human body itself. Overall, these natural sources contribute significantly to the background radiation that humans are exposed to.
No. Neon is a gas and is not found in the human body
The main differences between a natural gas and propane range are the type of gas they use and the pressure at which the gas is delivered. Natural gas ranges use methane gas from underground pipelines, while propane ranges use propane gas stored in tanks. Additionally, natural gas is delivered at a higher pressure than propane, which can affect the efficiency and performance of the range.
Yes, natural gas is considered a nonrenewable resource because it is formed over millions of years from organic matter under high pressure and heat. Once extracted and used, natural gas cannot be easily replenished on human timescales.
Methane is a common source of natural groundwater pollution. It can seep into groundwater from natural deposits or from human activities such as oil and gas drilling. Methane contamination can affect water quality and pose risks to human health.

yes hydraulic fracturing of natural gas does effect seismic activity.
No, human body doesn't float on helium as it is light.
Design gas processing plants so that human errors are unlikely to cause explosions.
HEATING: During cold months, typically November through March, residents and businesses use more natural gas for heating. If the winter months are unusually frigid, there is a higher demand for natural gas. With a higher demand for natural gas, the price increases. SEVERE WEATHER: Severe weather can affect natural gas prices. Much of the production of natural gas comes from the Gulf Coast of the United States, which are prone to hurricanes. When hurricanes hit, the production of natural gas along the coast is hindered, which causes the price of natural gas to rise. LACK OF DEMAND: A decrease in demand for natural gas leads to lower prices for natural gas. During an economic downturn, consumers use less natural gas, resulting in a surplus of natural gas. This surplus drives the price of natural gas down.

Human gas waste is commonly referred to as flatulence or farting. It is a natural byproduct of the digestion process in the digestive system.
