The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/flatulence\/\">NHS<\/a> estimates that the average person will fart between five and 15 times per day. Now that you know that, there\u2019s no need to be shy about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can something as common and harmless (well, except for the smell, maybe) as flatulating be flammable? The answer is yes, but let\u2019s explore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_in_a_Fart\"><\/span><strong>What\u2019s in a Fart?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although flatulating is known as passing gas, it\u2019s far from only one type of gas you\u2019re passing when you let one rip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the composition of an average fart is oxygen (four percent), methane (seven percent), carbon dioxide (nine percent), hydrogen (21 percent), and nitrogen (59 percent). Not every fart will contain those gasses in the exact quantities above, but for the most part, that\u2019s what you can expect when you fart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun fact, the hydrogen in flatulence includes mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide gas, but only about a percent of a fart is this type of gas. Nevertheless, the mercaptans has sulfur, and that\u2019s why farting <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/electrical-fire-smell-what-does-it-smell-like\/\">smells<\/a> as unpleasant as it does. Well, to others. People typically don\u2019t mind the smell of their own farts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Farts_Really_Flammable\"><\/span><strong>Are Farts Really Flammable?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do you need to know what\u2019s in a fart? Well, for one, it\u2019s fascinating (remember, we all fart, and there\u2019s no getting around that). More importantly though, now we can talk about the flammability of farting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019re aware, the average burst of flatulence contains hydrogen and methane. Hydrogen is considered one of the more flammable gasses, although that\u2019s usually when applied to fuel cells.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chemical compound methane is also extremely flammable. More so, if methane displaces oxygen at a rate of about 16 percent, it could asphyxiate you if you breathe in the air for long enough. This would be considered a rare event though and not something that can occur from farting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, but surely the flammability of methane and hydrogen only applies to heavy-duty industrial work, right? Certainly not your own bodily processes, you\u2019re sure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope! It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s a fuel cell or a fart, hydrogen is flammable. That\u2019s also true of methane. The other gasses in a fart though are not flammable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Light_a_Fart_on_Fire\"><\/span><strong>Can You Light a Fart on Fire?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has likely heard of the party trick that involves a rather enthusiastic partygoer dropping trough while a second person holds a match by the first person\u2019s rear end. Then that first person farts and the flatulence can supposedly be ignited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this just a myth or is it based on fact?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/flammable-placard.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-503748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/flammable-placard.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/flammable-placard-220x300.jpeg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s quite factual!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fart lighting has its own name, pyroflatulence. The act produces a blue flame that has earned pyroflatulence such nicknames as blue flame, blue dart, or blue angel. That said, sometimes the flame is a more typical yellow or orange hue than it is blue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatulence doesn\u2019t contain high enough quantities of either hydrogen or methane to burn for a prolonged period, but a fire will indeed occur for a short burst. That\u2019s why this trick is usually done at parties, as it impresses the other partygoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, I don\u2019t recommend replicating this trick during your next soiree. If your friends are eager to try it, I would tell you to dissuade them as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? The possibility of injury is too high. The person who\u2019s lighting the fart needs to stand a good distance away quite quickly after ignition or they could get burned by the emergent flames. The one who\u2019s igniting the fart could end up burned as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burns are painful no matter where on your body they occur, but in sensitive areas, the pain is going to be even more severe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, you could cause a fire by igniting a fart. If you\u2019re standing near a flammable object when the fart ignites and that fire reaches the flammable object, the fire can spread.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more flammable objects in your home than you might realize. For instance, window curtains are very flammable, and furniture can be as well. The lacquer in treated wooden furniture will also produce fumes that are either carcinogenic or toxic, sometimes even both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your fellow partygoers breathe in the air for long enough, long-term health effects could result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is all this worth it just to win some props at a party? No. Save your dignity and avoid lighting your farts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Farts_Be_Explosive\"><\/span><strong>Can Farts Be Explosive?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, I\u2019m not talking here about farting profusely because you\u2019re probably ill (or you let those leftovers sit in the fridge for too long before eating them). Rather, I want to talk about whether a fart that\u2019s ignited can explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In firefighting, an explosion is defined as what occurs when gasses expand quickly and violently. The effects of an explosion are often hard to predict, but they\u2019re usually not pretty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/flammable-v.-combustible.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-503747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/flammable-v.-combustible.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/flammable-v.-combustible-300x214.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, could a fart explode? Yes, indeed, it could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatulence is a fast-moving process. When you fart, the average speed is seven miles per hour, which is 3.05 meters per second. The speed of the flatulence combined with the flammability of the gasses and the ignition source does introduce the likelihood of an explosion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me reiterate that explosions are unpredictable, even among us firefighters. The fire can ignite at a larger radius than usual, which is not what you want to hear when the source of the fire is near your rear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fire will behave erratically, so it might spread more easily as it begins burning nearby flammable objects. Your rate of injury is more severe if you\u2019re the one participating in pyroflatulence, and the other person who ignited the fart could get seriously hurt too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a lot of people gathering around to watch, which is likely, they too could be burned or otherwise injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it didn\u2019t sink in before, I hope it does now that fiery fart tricks at a party are never worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do want to make it clear that on their own, farts will not ignite, and they won\u2019t explode either. You don\u2019t have to hold in a fart because you\u2019re afraid of it starting a fire. Holding farts in too long could negatively impact your colon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That sure was an interesting journey into the flammability of farts. You\u2019re now aware that flatulence is indeed flammable, mostly due to the methane and hydrogen in a fart. Pyroflatulence, or that party trick where you ignite a fart, is never worth it. Farts can explode when being lit, and the consequences can be disastrous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe out there!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a firefighter, I\u2019ve been asked some pretty ridiculous things.
