My family's home is built on land that is leaking methane gas.  The 
builder has had core samples done that showed a layer of methane gas less 
than 20 feet below the ground.  Does this poise any health risks to my 
family?  If there is any research data on this question I would like to 
know about it.  Thank you for your time and help in this matter. - Pamela
