Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stenches for Detecting Leakage of Blue Water Gas and Natural Gas
Natural gas also has little odor. Leaks in the pipes, particularly out of doors, are seldom detected until the loss of gas is noticed, and then the leaks are difficult to find. Many gas explosions, some of which wreck buildings, might be prevented by a warning stench. Moreover, although the principal need for stenches is in natural and blue water gas, they might also be used profitably to strengthen the odor of other gases.
