Rising global temperatures and extreme weather events bring an alarming increase in climate-sensitive diseases. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, accelerates global warming and poses significant health risks. While low concentrations of methane are relatively harmless, exposure to higher levels can lead to methane poisoning—a dangerous condition caused by the gas displacing oxygen in the air we breathe.

Symptoms range from mood changes and mild physical discomfort to severe health complications like irregular breathing, dizziness, and even life-threatening cardiovascular or respiratory failure.

This report delves into the environmental and health impacts of methane emissions and highlights the urgent need for proactive management strategies.
