"The Government of Canada conducted a science-based evaluation of ethane, propane, isobutane, butane and butane (branched and linear), called a screening assessment to address the potential for harm to Canadians and the environment. The substances in this assessment are used primarily as domestic and industrial fuels and as raw materials for manufacturing ethylene and other petrochemicals. Ethane, propane, isobutane, butane and butane (branched and linear) have low hazardous properties, and exposure to Canadians is low. Therefore, it was concluded that these 5 substances are not harmful to human health or to the environment”--Provided by publisher.
