<h3>What is butane ?</h3>

One of the smallest liquid streams frequently created in a refinery is butane. Ten hydrogen atoms and four carbon atoms make up the butane molecule. Typically, butane is either marketed as a finished product or is blended into LPG or gasoline in tiny quantities.

It is frequently employed as a fuel for portable stoves and cigarette lighters, as a propellant in aerosols, as a heating fuel, as a refrigerant, and in the production of a broad variety of goods. Liquefied petroleum gas and butane both exist (LPG).

Butane has a low level of toxicity. In butane misuse, high exposure concentrations can be anticipated. Central nervous system (CNS) and cardiac consequences are the most frequently seen effects in cases of misuse.
