"Science Direct analyzed reports of gas leaks between 2003 and 2018 via the National Fire Incident Reporting System and found 2.4 million incidents across the United States. Gas leaks can be incredibly dangerous to human and animal health and safety, causing serious illness from exposure, or even injury or death due to fire or explosion. One crucial tip for cooking on a natural gas stove is to take proactive, preventive safety measures to reduce your risk of a gas leak or explosion."
"The best way to protect yourself and your home is to invest in a natural gas detector. This invaluable safety device consists of a sensor, exterior control casing, and alarm. It continuously samples indoor air, monitoring for signs of methane, which could indicate escaping natural gas. If it senses dangerous levels, it emits a loud alarm. Although natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless,"
Gas leaks in the United States have increased over the past decades, with an analysis finding 2.4 million incidents from 2003 to 2018. Gas leaks pose serious risks to human and animal health and can cause illness, injury, or death through exposure or fire and explosion. Natural gas detectors continuously sample indoor air for methane and sound a loud alarm when dangerous levels are detected. A sulfur-like odorant is added to natural gas to aid detection, but people can become desensitized or miss the smell while away or asleep. Install detectors near fuel-burning appliances, garages, and basements and factor detector cost into appliance choices.
