        "text": "While sewer gas is primarily methane, which is not highly toxic in small amounts, it often contains other gases like hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. In extreme cases, it can be life-threatening. Additionally, these gases can pose a fire or explosion hazard if they accumulate in confined spaces. It's best to address sewer gas odors promptly to ensure a safe living environment.",
