Introduction to the Mega Thread on the GPL
Method Since there is no in-depth thread on the LPG method, I decided to open one to discuss both the technical aspects and those related to the method itself. This space is designed to collect detailed and precise information, with the aim of deepening knowledge on this topic. Anyone who wants to contribute technical details or experiences related to this topic is welcome. However, I invite everyone to maintain focus and avoid unnecessary controversy. My intent is exclusively informative and does not in any way want to encourage self-harming actions.
Body reaction to LPG concentrations
When LPG is inhaled in a closed environment, its effect on the body varies depending on the concentration present in the air. The main mechanism is the replacement of oxygen with gas, leading to hypoxia, i.e. a reduction in the supply of oxygen to the tissues.
1. Low concentrations of LPG (up to 10%)
Effects on the body:
No immediate effect evident.
Feeling unwell or uncomfortable may occur in the long term, but serious damage is unlikely.
Risk: Minimal for health, but the gradual saturation may go unnoticed without odorants (usually present in the gas.)
2. Moderate concentrations of LPG (10-30%)
Effects on the body:
Mild hypoxia: You begin to feel a lack of air.
Initial symptoms: Headache, dizziness, tiredness, difficulty concentrating.
Sense of confusion: The alteration of oxygen levels in the blood begins to compromise cognitive functions.
Risk: If nothing is done, the risk increases rapidly with exposure time.
3. High concentrations of LPG (30-50%)
Effects on the body:
Severe hypoxia: Critical decrease in oxygen available in the lungs.
Obvious symptoms:
Severe difficulty breathing.
Nausea and vomiting.
Loss of balance and motor difficulties.
Confusional state and intense drowsiness.
Decrease in consciousness: Possible fainting.
Risk: Severe, with possible compromise of vital organs such as the brain.
4. Critical concentrations of LPG (50-70% and above)
Effects on the body:
Lethal hypoxia: Insufficient concentration of oxygen to keep tissues alive.
Terminal symptoms:
Respiratory arrest.
Immediate loss of consciousness.
Irreversible damage to the brain after a few minutes of exposure (due to lack of oxygen).
Risk: Death within minutes without intervention.
Timing of the lethal effect
Critical concentration (>50%):
Fainting: 1-2 minutes.
Respiratory arrest: 3-5 minutes.
Irreversible brain damage: 5-10 minutes.
A concentration of LPG above 50% in the air (reducing oxygen below 10-12%) leads to certain death within minutes.
Indicative times
Immediate saturation (>70% of LPG): Loss of consciousness in 15-30 seconds.
High saturation (50-70%): Loss of consciousness in 1-2 minutes.
