Natural gas, oxygen, and nitrogen are odorless, however they are potentially explosive and dangerous to health. This is why these gases are odorized with a substance which is strong-smelling. Typical choices are highly volatile organic sulfur compounds like tetrahydrothiophene (THT), whose smell resembles rotten eggs, and mercaptan mixtures.
