[QUOTE="Gabba, post: 5460735, member: 58591"] well it's not the propane that's getting to you. it's the tracer gas. propane is odorless and non reactive with any tissues or membranes in your lungs or airway, the only way it can hurt you is if it's displacing oxygen to such a degree that you're asphyxiating. and surely other people would be too if the concentration was high enough in the building to get to you. the tracer gas is toxic in high concentrations, but higher than it would be if the gas line was just straight open. what's probably happening is that the odor is just causing a psychosomatic response. that isn't to say your the response isn't real, just that you're not in any real danger of poisoning. but then again they put the tracer gas in with the fuel because it's highly flammable.
