Methane Explosions
Methane is a gas that is widely used for industrial processes and as a fuel. In particular, methane is a natural gas commonly used to help heat homes and provide electricity through combustion. However, despite wide usage, this gas is extremely dangerous if it is brought near an open flame or exposed to high temperatures. This explosion hazard can prove potentially catastrophic if methane combusts in an open area.

Injuries from Methane Explosions
Explosions involving methane can prove particularly hazardous, as this gas will combust often at lower temperatures than many other gases. This means that methane may erupt into a sizeable explosion with comparatively little provocation.
If a source of methane explodes, the following injuries may be sustained by those trapped in the area:
- Severe burns
- Suffocation
- Damage from blast waves
- Ear and eye injuries
These injuries can cause serious bodily harm and severe pain. A person injured from these explosions needs to be treated immediately by a medical professional and may suffer permanent harm.
