Published over 20 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Gas detection.
The widespread use of portable gas monitors for the protection of hazardous gases has spawned much interest as well as confusion about the sensing technologies behind the scenes. Gas detection and monitoring systems are used as safety devices to alert workers of the potential danger of poisoning by toxic gas exposure, suffocation due to lack of oxygen and fire or explosion caused by combustible gases. The sensors in any gas monitor are the heart of the instrument, and the foundation of gas detection.
