Is liquefied petroleum gas harmful to human body?
When the concentration of liquefied petroleum gas reaches a certain proportion, it will poison people.

LiquefiedPetroleumGas: Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is often easily confused with liquefied natural gas (LNG), but there are obvious differences between them. The main components of liquefied petroleum gas are propane (above 95%) and a small amount of butane, which is a mixture of propane and butane, usually accompanied by a small amount of propylene and butene. Liquefied petroleum gas is often mistaken for propane. In fact, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a mixture of petroleum and natural gas under appropriate pressure, which exists in liquid state at room temperature. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is produced when crude oil is refined, or gas emitted during the exploitation of oil or natural gas. When ethyl mercaptan with strong smell is added to liquefied petroleum gas, it is easy to find the leakage of liquefied petroleum gas.

Usage of liquefied petroleum gas: liquefied petroleum gas is a kind of petroleum products, and it is a colorless volatile gas produced by oil and gas field exploitation, refinery and ethylene plant. Mainly used in automobile, city gas, nonferrous metal smelting and metal cutting.

Liquefied petroleum gas emissions: carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.

Gas poisoning: Gas poisoning is carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, which is not easy to detect. The binding capacity of hemoglobin with carbon monoxide in blood is more than 200 times stronger than that with oxygen. If carbon monoxide is inhaled excessively, oxygen will lose the chance to combine with hemoglobin, so that tissues and cells can't get enough oxygen from the blood, which leads to breathing difficulties. According to the concentration of carbon monoxide in inhaled air and the length of poisoning time, gas poisoning can be divided into three types: light, medium and heavy.
