Methane is not toxic, in fact it’s frustratingly inert. Leading to long atmospheric residence time in decades. Unless you meant to type toxic methanol, which is true, but it’s not that toxic. Just don’t drink the wood alcohol, okay?

I think the plan is to produce methane from hydrogen on Mars for the return trip on Starship. Kind of a niche case, though.
