WHY DOES COOKING GAS SMELL LIKE ROTTEN EGG?

Have you ever felt so bad and uncomfortable when you perceive the gas odour in your home.

You can agree with me that LPG generally known as cooking gas is very dangerous, because if there are leakages, it can cause terrible fire and devastating explosions. This cooking gas is Naturally odorless, it would therefore be absolutely impossible to perceive or detect it's smell if there is leakage. However, the natural gas companies add Ethyl mercaptan to natural gas a chemical which gives the natural gas it's distinct and unpleasant odour often described like rotten eggs or rotten garbages. This unpleasant odour helps detect leakages and this practice is an industrial standard. So, if you notice that distinct rotten egg or rotten garbage smell, it is for safety measure - just to call your attention and to help you identify gas leakage and this smell is harmless.
