However, due to its special environment, underground pipe trenches are prone to generate harmful gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. This is mainly because there are various organic substances in the pipe trench, which will continuously generate harmful gases under the anaerobic decomposition of microorganisms, in addition, some sewage pipes, septic tanks and other pipes connected to the pipe trench will also become a source of harmful gases, continuously transporting into the pipe trench, causing the concentration of harmful gases in the pipe trench to gradually increase.
