Abstract: The reason gas companies odorize natural gas is simple: it is a legal requirement. In 1937, the high school in New London, Texas exploded, killing over 200 men, women, and mostly children. Natural gas emanating from a leak accumulated in the schools basement and ignited when someone entering the area flipped on a light switch. No one knew about the leak because unodorized natural gas has no odor. This disaster led federal and state regulators to enact new regulations that required suppliers to odorize natural gas.
