Byproducts of Natural Gas
Byproducts of natural gas include carbon dioxide and water vapor. Complete combustion of gas produces a harmless mixture of these two byproducts. However, when a fuel is burned without proper air for complete combusion, a toxic gas called carbon monoxide may be produced. Incomplete combustion could happen for a number of reasons:
- Insuffient air supply for complete combustion
- Improper venting of equipment
- Faulty appliances (have your appliances checked by a professional regularly)
- Lack of ventilation around appliances (keep your furnace rooms clean)
