Ethylene oxide is a highly combustible, flammable, and colorless gas that has a sweet, ether-like odor at toxic levels. However, the odor’s presence and strength cannot be relied upon to ensure safety; therefore, absent appropriate monitoring to detect that a leak or an or an accumulation of ethylene oxide has occurred, sterilization employees could face ...
This article presents just three of these applications; the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions, the monitoring of methane using an infrared sensor and the detection of gases using a UAV drone. ...
Introduction The global outbreak of Covid-19 has affected every part of human lives, including impacting the physical world in which we live. This is primarily due to the measures that have been taken around the world to control the spread of the virus and the consequent slowdown of economic activities, which have had significant effects on the environment. The European Environment Agency (EEA) ...
Moreover, the low boiling point makes it relatively easy to purge any residual butaneat the end of the extraction process, leaving behind only a relatively pure product. Gas Detection Monitors Can Protect Extractors and Their Employees While butane is important for extracting essential oils from cannabis plants use of this gas is not without ...
Keeping Safe While Working with Ethanol Ethanol is highly combustible, with a low flash point, making leaks (including vapor emissions) potentially quite dangerous, and threats from accidental ignition very serious indeed. To detect, and protect against, risks emanating from leaks or excessive concentrations of ethanol, best practices include placing gas ...
Since nitrogen displaces oxygen, this monitor can detect a gas leak by noting falling levels of oxygen. A digital display indicates the current amount of oxygen in the room, providing assurance for lab staff that everything is working as it should. ...
A recent safety bulletin from the University of Rochester found that liquid nitrogen was stored without an oxygen sensor, poisonous gas was used with a fume hood that did not adequately vent hazardous fumes, gas cylinders were modified using unacceptable materials, and gas tanks were stored without protective chains, stands, and ...
