Answer:

Ethanethiol

Explanation:

Ethanethiol is intentionally added to butane and propane (see: LPG) to impart an easily noticed smell to these normally odorless fuels that pose the threat of fire, explosion, and asphyxiation. In the underground mining industry, ethanethiol or ethyl mercaptan is referred to as "stench gas".

Answer:

to detect the leakage, ethyl mercaptan is added to LPG. Ethyl mercaptan or ethanethiol which is an organo-sulphur compound is added to the gas, which possesses that strong odor of rotten cabbages. The smell helps us to detect when there is a leak, which is very important for safety purposes.
