Butane is a flammable gas that has no odor and accumulates indoors and in unventilated areas. The accumulation of enough butane gas in an area presents a significant risk of sudden, unpredictable explosions, which can be lead to fires and fatal injury to the use. Therefore, utmost care and caution must be used when working in an environment that involves the use of butane gas.

It should be noted that performing this extraction indoors significantly increases the risk of fires, explosions, and physical harm. Outside of a fully functioning fume hood, the production of BHO indoors carries with it a great inherent risk for explosions and bodily harm. '''While one may personally know of successful experiences of producing B.H.O. indoors, this should not be taken as evidence of this safety, given the large elements of chance involved.'''
