Please tell me what can happen if you inhale butane/propain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad things: Butane and propane are compounds of the liquified petroleum gas (lpg) used for lighters, heating, etc. They are hydrocarbons 4 carbon like butane, or 3 for propane. Inhalation can cause euphoria, asphyxia, cardiac arrhythmia, fluctuations in blood pressure, temporary memory loss, drowsiness, narcosis and frostbite, which can result in death from asphyxiation and ventricular fibrillation.
