Understanding H2S Gas: A Silent Hazard in Industrial Environments
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is well known as a colorless, flammable gas with a distinctive “rotten egg” odor. It can also be deadly, particularly in industrial environments where it’s often produced. Awareness and preparedness are key to ensuring safety around any gas hazard; and not only having the right tools, but...
How Accurate is Your Gas Detector? Understanding Gas Detector Accuracy
Accurate gas detectors save lives and protect property. When choosing a gas detector, one can't underestimate the importance of precision and reliability. Choosing the right gas detector can mean the difference between safety and disaster. Understanding Gas Detector Accuracy When examining the accuracy of gas detectors, several factors come into play. Calibration, sensor type, and environmental conditions...
Gas Detection Using Enrichment-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
In a recent article published in Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, researchers introduced an innovative method called enrichment-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). This technique improves the gas detection sensitivity of PAS by using vertical graphene (VG) as an enrichment material. The study explored VG's potential to improve the detection limit of nitric oxide...
Researchers develop a detector for continuously monitoring toxic gases
Most systems used to detect toxic gases in industrial or domestic settings can be used only once, or at best a few times. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a detector that could provide continuous monitoring for the presence of these gases, at low cost. The new system combines two existing...
