Accidents caused by hazardous substances can occur in industry, on the road or at sea, but also during the transport of materials. Many hazardous substances and chemicals, due to their nature, significantly affect the environment and the living world.
That is why the timely reaction of intervention services (police, firefighters) is important to remove dangerous solids, liquids and gases and minimize their impact. For example, the world military requires monitoring of gas concentrations, and due to their mobility, portable gas detection is considered crucial in protection against hazardous gases.
Typical applications:
- Monitoring of CO2 concentrations to detect illegal transport of animals and humans
Typical gases:
- Flammable: Different blends of aviation Kerosene, Diesel and Gasoline, LNG and LPG
- Toxic: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Hydrogen sulfide and Volatile organic compounds (VOC), Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide, Phosphine, Ammonia, Hydrogen cyanide, Chlorine
- Oxygen: Oxygen deficiency
