Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Detection
Portable & fixed-point SO2 detectors for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental testing.
About Sulfur Dioxide Detection
Sulfur Dioxide, a toxic gas with a pungent, irritating smell, is primarily produced by volcanic activity and as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
It has applications in the chemical industry as a preservative, in the production of sulfuric acid, and as a bleaching agent. The wine industry also uses it for its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. SO2’s potential to form acid rain and its respiratory hazards necessitate strict regulatory compliance and monitoring in the workplace.

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.
Gas Detection in the Agriculture and Fertilizer Manufacturing Industry: Essential Safety Measures
The agriculture and fertilizer manufacturing industries utilize various gases in their processes, each playing a crucial role but also posing significant health and safety risks. This article explores the common gases used, the associated risks, the importance of gas detection technologies, and best practices for ensuring safety in these industries.
