Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Detection
Portable & fixed-point NO2 detectors for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental testing.
About Nitrogen Dioxide Detection
Nitrogen dioxide (aka nitrogen peroxide) exists in equilibrium with its dimer dinitrogen tetroxide. It presents as a reddish brown gas or yellowish-brown liquid when cooled or compressed.
The compound is an intermediate in nitric acid production; a nitrating agent in explosives; a polymerization inhibitor for acrylates; and an oxidizing agent in rocket fuels. Nitrogen dioxide has also been used to bleach flour.

What Are the Industrial Pollution Effects on Health, Economy, and the Environment?
The costs of industries’ noncompliance with pollution controls are borne by their workers, neighboring communities, governments, and the environment. The costs can be economic, ecological, and health-related problems. Industries should consider the ethical advantages of controlling pollution that can enhance their reputation and profits.
While industries are owned by a few, the pollution they produce affects all 8.3 billion people on Earth, especially the workers in these industries.
Four Chemicals That Cause the Most Chemical Accidents (And Why They’re Gases)
Gases caused two-thirds of all industrial accidents between 2004 and 2019. The gases that caused most of the accidents were ammonia, followed by chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen fluoride. The amount of gas released is not always related to the potential for accidents with the chemicals.
According to the International Council of Chemical Associations , 40,000 to 60,000 industrial chemicals are used or produced in amounts of over 1 metric ton per year.
What Toxic Gases in Industrial Fires Should Safety Managers Watch For?
Industrial fires produce more inorganic than organic gases. Hazardous gases pose a risk because they can be toxic or asphyxiant, and some, such as carbon monoxide, are lethal at high concentrations in a short time. Many gases produced in fires are themselves flammable and will intensify and spread the fire, for example, hydrogen sulfide. Other gases are non-flammable but strong oxidizers that can intensify fires, like nitrogen oxides.
Why Chlorine Should Be Monitored in These Industries: 12 Critical Sectors You Need to Know
Chlorine should be monitored in industries that use it as a raw material for manufacturing, as a disinfectant, and as a bleaching agent. Chlorine should be monitored because it is toxic, corrosive, and a fire risk. Chlorine monitors should be placed in places where the chemical is transported, stored, fed into equipment, and processed.
Among occupational hazardous gases, chlorine causes the third-highest number of injuries and deaths in industry.
Occupational Hazards from Exposure to Inorganic and Organic Gas
Organic gases and vapors are primarily fire and explosion risks, but some can also be toxic. Risks from exposure to inorganic gases arise from their toxic, asphyxiant, and flammable properties. Common gas properties of density, concentrations, temperature, pressure, and ventilation can influence the risk posed by inorganic and organic gases.
Gases occur in most industrial sectors, as raw materials or products of processes. Accidental leaks can expose workers to hazardous gases.
