Bromine (Br2) Detection

Portable & fixed-point Br2 detectors for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental testing.

About Bromine Detection

A heavy, reddish-brown liquid that evaporates into a gas at room temperature, Bromine is critical in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries for the production of pesticides and flame retardants.

It finds applications in water treatment, dyes, and medicinal compounds as well. The automotive industry utilizes bromine in the manufacture of anti-knock fluids, adding to its diverse industrial significance. However, bromine’s high reactivity and toxicity require careful handling and robust gas detection systems to prevent inhalation risks and chemical burns in industrial settings.

Common Challenges

  • Ensuring reliable detection in varying environmental conditions
  • Managing the corrosive nature of bromine that can damage equipment
  • Addressing false alarms caused by cross-sensitivity with other chemicals

Current Guidelines

  • OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 0.1 ppm (0.7 mg/m³) as a ceiling limit
  • NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit (REL): 0.1 ppm (0.7 mg/m³)
