Maybe one of the proctors will post this in the right forum. Our family has had a significant natural gas leak (not sure how long it’s been leaking). I’m trying to figure out if anyone knows if there is long term damage done to prolonged natural gas exposure. We have 4 small children and I’m worried sick

I hope the leak has been fixed. It would be good to have your kids checked by a doctor. We had a leak after the contractor incorrectly installed a new gas stove; we called it in severa times but it wasn't detected for a few years. Most of the gas risk is from fire, rather than to a person's health. There are no heavy metals or similar nasty chemicals associated with natural gas. The smell of natural gas is a small amount of tracer (similar to skunk odor) that is used to alert people that there is a leak. I am a petroleum geoscientist, not a medical doctor, but most of the online "natural gas health" info was associated with living near gas wells, not having a leak in your house (different gas compositions).
