A tracer-gas leak testing method is a nondestructive testing method that detects gas leaks.A variety of methods with different sensitivities exist. Tracer-gas leak testing is used in the petrochemical industry, the automotive industry, the construction industry [1] and in the manufacture of semiconductors, among other uses.

Gas leaks can damage or kill plants. [4] [5] In addition to leaks from natural gas pipes, methane and other gases migrating from landfill garbage disposal sites can also cause chlorosis and necrosis in grass, weeds, or trees. [6] In some cases, leaking gas may migrate as far as 100 feet (30 m) from the source of the leak to an affected tree. [7]
In internal combustion engines, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide (NO x) emissions reduction technique used in petrol/gasoline, diesel engines and some hydrogen engines. [1] EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders .
An explosive gas leak detector is a device used to detect explosive gas leaks in enclosed spaces. Typically, a local alarm will be triggered, and optionally a remote alarm may also be connected. Typically, a local alarm will be triggered, and optionally a remote alarm may also be connected.
A methane leak comes from an industrial facility or pipeline and means a significant natural gas leak: the term is used for a class of methane emissions. Satellite data enables the identification of super-emitter events that produce methane plumes. Over 1,000 methane leaks of this type were found worldwide in 2022. [1]
Aliso Canyon SS 25 wellhead, December 17, 2015. Note subsidence craters at center, apparently from the attempts to plug the leaking well. The Aliso Canyon gas leak (also called Porter Ranch gas leak [1] and Porter Ranch gas blowout [2]) was a massive methane leak in the Santa Susana Mountains near the neighborhood of Porter Ranch in the city of Los Angeles, California.
P376: Stop leak if safe to do so. P377: Leaking gas fire – do not extinguish unless leak can be stopped safely. P378: Use ... to extinguish. P380: Evacuate area. P381: In case of leakage, eliminate all ignition sources. P391: Collect spillage.
