we've all seen those videos where people light on fire the water coming from their kitchen faucet ... blamed on fracking ... well, now we are seeing homes blow-up in the midwest ... and i am wondering ... are they dripping their faucets? do they have a gas appliance with a pilot light? ... and could the same fumes (methane) which are combustible in those videos accumulate in a home with a dripping faucet?
Methane:
- the main component of natural gas
- at room temperature and standard pressure, methane is a colorless, odorless gas.
- methane is not toxic; however, it is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air.
- as a gas it is flammable only over a narrow range of concentrations (5–15%) in air.
- methane gas explosions are responsible for many deadly mining disasters.
