Toxic Gas Analysis - New Video, White Paper and Case Study  

Dangerous levels of toxic gases in freight containers represent a major threat to port and transport workers, customs officials, warehousemen, store employees and consumers. However, the risks posed by these gases can be effectively assessed with Gasmet FTIR multigas analysers. Gasmet has therefore published a video, a white paper and a case study; providing comprehensive help and advice for any employers that need to assess such risks to protect the health and welfare of staff and customers.

The air quality inside freight containers varies enormously, depending on the goods, the packing materials, transit time, temperature, humidity and the possible presence of fumigants. Consequently, many containers contain hazardous levels of toxic gases and traditional monitoring techniques employ a ‘hit and miss’ approach.

The advantages of the Gasmet DX4040 are demonstrated in the video, and a case study on Gasmet.com describes a Dutch company with a fleet of 8 Gasmet analysers for testing freight containers.
