How gas leak detector can save your life

Almost all of us use natural gas for heating purposes. Some also use it for other things inside the home. This is why Gas leak detection is something every household should take seriously if you want to prevent potential harm to you and your loved ones.


Natural gas is a safe and trustworthy energy source. Compared to the electricity, people are choosing natural gas in their daily lives because of its affordability. However, it is highly combustible and leaking is extremely dangerous for your health and your home too. The natural leak happens very slowly causing carbon monoxide poisoning. You will not immediately identify the gas leak. To help ensure that you live safely using natural gas, be aware of the signs of a leak.

Natural gas is odourless and colourless. Gas companies add a "rotten eggs" smell to make it recognizable in case of a leak. If you detect this smell when walking into your home, this is a clear sign of a leak. Also be aware of strange sounds, like hissing or whistling. These noises come from the pipeline or from the appliances. A leak in a gas pipe can sometimes cause bubbling in standing water around the home. Mark the direction of the gas line so you know which area needs to be checked. The unknown air from the ground it`s a clear sign of gas leak causing dirt to be thrown into the air or plants to be blown away. While plants can certainly die due to a variety of reasons, plants that die without a visible cause could indicate a leak. Also, check if a fire or a flame is coming from the ground.

The gas leak can be dangerous for your health if you don`t take necessary measures. Gas leaks change the amount of oxygen available and as you breathe less oxygen you will start feeling tired and have headaches. You are having a leak in your home, if you or others in your family experience sudden and unexplained symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, distress, irregular breathing, chest pain, nose bleeds, asthma, loss of appetite and many more. Even your pets can feel the same symptoms over high levels of gas leak exposure.

Always take immediate action if you smell gas leak:

1. Turn off the supply of the gas
2. Get fresh air into your home by opening all the doors and windows
3.Get outside as soon as possible even if you can`t open the windows
4. Avoid using any electric switches

People love massages because it will relax their bodies, while it really does it has little to offer compared to mindfulness. The body and the mind are so intertwined with one another, that when one of them is tensed or stressed, the other automatically gets affected.
