FAQ

What is methane gas?

Methane is an organic compound. The molecular formula is CH₄. Molecular weight 16.043. Methane is the simplest organic matter and the hydrocarbon with the smallest carbon content (and the largest hydrogen content). In addition, methane is a non-polar molecule with a tetrahedral structure. In the stratosphere, methane is broken down into water vapor (clouds), leading to the destruction of the ozone layer.

What is a methane gas sensor?

A methane gas sensor is a device detect and measure the concentration of methane (CH4) in the ambient air. Methane is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas. Natural processes produce methane, as well as oil and gas production and agriculture.

What are the long-term hazards of inhaling methane gas?

Long-term inhalation of methane gas may have some negative effects on human health. First of all, methane is a greenhouse gas, and long-term exposure to high concentrations of methane may have certain effects on the respiratory and circulatory systems, leading to headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Secondly, the concentration of methane is too high may lead to a significant reduction in oxygen in the air, suffocation, dizziness, headache, weakness and other symptoms, and even rapid death. In addition, methane may react with oxygen in the air at high temperatures to produce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, which are also very serious to the human body.
