gas buildup
Trapped air collection
Gas buildup is the accumulation of gas in a confined space—whether in pipes, enclosed structures, or the human body.
In industrial contexts, gas buildup can create explosion hazards: The inspector warned about dangerous gas buildup in the basement.
In medical contexts, it refers to intestinal gas causing bloating or discomfort: Certain foods cause gas buildup in the digestive tract.
