A wide variety of chemical reactions, both aerobic and anaerobic, occur to decompose the various tissues of a body. Perhaps what you may be interested in is the gases produced, methane, hydrogen sulfide (which smells like rotten eggs), ammonia, and those primarily responsible for the smell of corpses, putrescine and cadaverine. These foul smelling chemicals are not very toxic, and according to the UN, the greatest danger posed by corpses is the diseases attracted scavengers may bring.

What gas is produced by the decay of vegetation in the absence of oxygen?
Methane gas is produced by the decay of vegetation in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in environments like wetlands or landfills where organic matter decomposes anaerobically. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with more than 20 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
What mineral is argon in?
Argon is a noble gas, and thus it is not present in minerals. It is found in Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts and is also produced through the decay of radioactive materials.
What are the two items needed to make a gas that can be weighed?
To make a gas that can be weighed, you need a container to hold the gas and a scale to measure its weight.
What dangerous gas is produced by the decay of radium-226?
Radon gas is produced during the decay of radium-226. It is a colorless, odorless gas that can accumulate in enclosed spaces and pose a health risk when inhaled, increasing the risk of lung cancer. Testing for radon levels in homes is important to ensure a safe living environment.
What is gas needed for?
Oxygen is the gas that is required for respiration.
What gas helps decay to occur?
Any gas helps decay to occur.
Odor less radioactive gas produced from uranium decay?
This gas is radon.
Why is there less decay in frosty conditions?
because there is no warmth and humidity in the air which is needed by microbes in the process of decay thats why less decay occurs in frosty conditions
Why do corpses make a moaning sound?
If a corpse has not been embalmed, it will decay, and the process of decay produces methane gas, and when the gas escapes from the corpse it can produce a moaning sound.
Which noble gas occur when decay of uranium and radium occurs?
This noble gas is radon.
What is time needed for half the atom to decay?
about 5,730 years
What is the time needed for half the atoms to decay called?
it's half life
What element is obtained through the decay of radium?
Radium naturally decays into radon, which is a radioactive noble gas. This decay process is one of the steps in the radioactive decay chain of uranium-238.
Where did radon originate?
Radon is a radioactive gas in the decay series of uranium and thorium.
What is the radioactive gas produced when uranium and thorium decay?
Isotopes of radon (Rn)
What is a radioactive gas with 136 neutrons?
The radioactive gas with 136 neutrons is Radon-220, also known as thoron. It is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is part of the decay chain of uranium-232. Thoron is produced by the decay of radium-224 and has a half-life of about 55 seconds.
What Marine organisms that decay to make oil and natural gas?
killer u dick
