Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
(A Non-renewable Resource)

Potential impact on human health and the environment

The principal advantages to health and the environment include:

• Sealed tanks eliminate evaporative emissions or spillage. Refueling can be a source of LPG hydrocarbon emissions, however. Such emissions can be controlled through the use of special refueling valves.
• Certain toxics, especially benzene and butadiene, as well as regulated emissions, are generally lower than those of gasoline-fueled vehicles. Carbon dioxide emission levels are reduced by up to 40 percent over those of gasoline-fueled vehicles.
