Abstract: The subject of odorization is one of great importance to Distribution Companies and unfortunately is one function that, in many instances in the past, was not given the attention its importance deserved. Natural gas is generally odorless, especially so when diluted with air. It is necessary, therefore, to take ali reasonable steps to avoid the hazards of an air-gas mixture. One of the most important safety measures 1s the addition of an artificial odor to the natural gas in sufficient quantities to insure adequate warning before dangerous gas concentrations are reached. For all practical purposes, we can say that all distribution gas must be odorized and odorized in such a manner that it gives complete warning when even the smallest of gas leaks occur. There can be and should be no valid reason why a gas leak should not be immediately noticed and recognized by the general public. It should be as clear as the sound of a siren or the ringing of a fire alarm because its function is the same, to alert.
