Yes. Do a search for "natural gas detectors".

It would be wise to have a detector in every room that uses natural gas.

In most cases, low. In a bedroom, for instance, it would be mounted on a

It's heavier than air, so you want some warning before it overcomes you.
Some are like those little plug-in deodorizers; you just plug em in and walk
away.
