Ammonia (NH3) Detection
Portable & fixed-point NH3 detectors for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental testing.
About Ammonia Detection
A colorless gas with a distinctive sharp smell, Ammonia is a cornerstone in numerous industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, refrigeration, and manufacturing.
Its widespread use is evident in fertilizer production, waste and wastewater treatment, and the creation of explosives. In the realm of manufacturing, ammonia plays a pivotal role in the production of plastics, fibers, and other chemicals. Though invaluable, ammonia’s toxicity is a significant hazard, particularly in enclosed industrial environments, requiring stringent detection protocols to ensure worker safety. Prolonged exposure even at low levels can have adverse health effects, making its management in the workplace critical.

Why Chemical Safety Training for Industrial Workers Is Essential for Workplace Safety
Training workers in the dangers, handling and storing chemicals, and responding to emergencies is essential for effectively implementing safety protocols. An evaluation of training programs showed increased information resource use and successful attempts by workers to improve safety and health in their workplace. The case study was confined to only workers, so comparison with managers was impossible.
Industries use or release hazardous chemicals in their production processes.
What Is the Hierarchy of Controls in Workplace Safety and How Does It Protect Employees?
Employers can use the recommended hierarchy of controls to keep their employees safe from illness and injury in their facilities. Of the five strategies, elimination, substitution, and engineering controls are the most effective in controlling exposure since they do not require personnel intervention. Administrative controls and personal protective equipment are less effective in controlling risks as they require workers’ effort and are never used in isolation.
How to Create an Effective Emergency Evacuation Plan for Hazardous Gases
Many industries have one or more hazardous gases in their facilities, and they must prepare evacuation plans for hazardous gases in case of leaks or fires. Effective evacuations during emergencies depend on prior planning and training and following well-defined protocols. Both employers and employees have crucial roles before and during evacuations.
Why Industrial Gas Monitoring is Crucial for These Ten Industries
While various facilities use thousands of chemicals, some gases recur in workplaces across industries. The typical gases are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, nitrogen, methane, sulfur dioxide, and chloride oxide. These gases can be flammable and/or toxic to people. The combustible gases in an oxygen-rich atmosphere can be explosive, causing risks to lives, facilities, neighborhoods, and the environment.
How Do Electrochemical Gas Sensors Work? Understanding Their Role in Industrial Safety
Electrochemical sensors react chemically with target gases and measure the current produced for quantitative estimation. The electrochemical sensors are useful for several toxic, corrosive, explosive, and environmentally polluting gases. The electrochemical sensors have become state-of-the-art technology due to their accuracy, robustness, size, and cost for industrial use.
