Because the very simplest of the alkanes is methane, I would have to say that yes, alkanes definitely have an impact on the environment.
The more complex alkanes such as paraffins, which have very little biological activity, also very definitely have an impact on the environment.
Alkanes have low reactivity, making them stable compounds. They are used as fuels due to their high energy content. Alkanes are also relatively non-toxic and have low environmental impact when burned.
yes, natural gas is a mixture of alkanes, but mainly methan.
Environmental impact is defined as any change in the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, as a result of a benefit activity, product, or service. For More:
Alkanes, while relatively stable and less reactive than other hydrocarbons, can pose environmental threats primarily through their role as pollutants. When released into the environment, they can contribute to air and water pollution, leading to harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. Additionally, their combustion can produce greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Oil spills, which often involve alkanes, can severely impact marine life and coastal ecosystems.
Apart from reducing the environmental impact by one less smoker, we can't think of any.
In environmental studies a VOC is a Volatile Organic Compound. It is any material that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and potentially oxygen (Alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, alkanes, etc.) that evaporates easily into the air.

No, this will not make an environmental difference. What you'll really want to look at is how efficient the dryers are. The more efficient they are, the smaller impact they will have on the environment.
