METHANE

Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless, flammable, greenhouse gas. It is released naturally into the air from marshes, swamps, rice fields, ruminant animals (such as cattle), and sewage sludge. CH4 is also released from methane-producing bacteria (methanogens) that live in anaerobic places.
