2.3 Other hazards
LPG is extremely flammable liquefied hydrocarbon compound which at ambient temperature may form explosive hydrocarbon mixtures with air. If inhaled, LPG hydrocarbons have narcotic effect leading to nervous system and heart disorders; irritating to respiratory tract and eyes. Inhalation of large gas concentrations may lead to unconsciousness or suffocation in the short run due to oxygen deficiency. After contact with skin or eyes liquefied gas may cause frostbite due to intensive evaporation. Formation of toxic compounds with other materials in water and air at ambient temperatures is not characteristic to LPG. Accidental release may produce short-term soil, water and atmosphere contamination and significant reduction of oxygen concentration in ambient air, especially in a confined spaces.
