Some fruit will produce ethylene as ripening begins” (WSU) Because this gas is naturally occurring and fruits produce it to help with the ripening process, one shouldn't be concerned about ethylene anymore. Propylene, on the other hand does raise some concern even after researching. According to www.linde-gas.com “Propylene is similar to propane

ESS : 91411 What are the potential social, political and economic repercussions of a rising sea level.
