2.3 Other hazards
PBT and vPvB assessment according to Annex XIII of the REACH – not assessed. • Natural gas forms explosive and flammable mixtures with air (for approximate gas explosion limits see Section 9), is lighter than air, it concentrates in the upper part of confined spaces. • A rapid decompression of liquefied gas leads to a major temperature decrease and may cause thermal damage to skin and eyes. • The gas has a suffocating effect on humans by displacing atmospheric oxygen from the air. Insufficient concentration of the oxygen in the air may cause unconsciousness and death (see Section 11). • Permeating through the soil, natural gas displaces oxygen and thus damages the plant cover. • It is an aggressive greenhouse gas.
