Can GC/MS Analysis Detect Natural Gas Leaks in a Home?

October 4, 2016 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

Detecting Natural Gas Leaks

Can GC/MS analysis detect a natural gas leak in my home?

This is a question we’ve had submitted by a few folks who have come across our website and analytical testing services.

The answer? Technically yes, but practically no.

GC/MS analysis (gas chromatography mass spectrometry) has a wide variety of applications—from tracking organic pollutants in the environment to criminal forensics to food, beverage and perfume analysis. And while a mobile system could likely detect the presence of natural gas in a home, you probably don’t have access to such a tool.
