Guidance for use of toxic gas detectors underground

 

Guidance on operating toxic gas detectors underground: The main occupational hazards for everyone working underground are hypoxia and suffocation, hydrogen sulfide poisoning, and combustible gas explosion, with the most common phenomenon being hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The composite gas detector can timely detect the concentration of toxic and harmful gases in the well, and can automatically alarm.


1. Carbon dioxide and gas suffocation. In addition to artificial respiration and resuscitation oxygen therapy, injured individuals who suffer from carbon dioxide and gas suffocation must also rub their skin or smell ammonia to promote breathing recovery. Carbon monoxide poisoning.


2. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning. In addition to artificial respiration or oxygen therapy with a regenerator, cotton swabs, handkerchiefs, etc. soaked in chlorine water solution can be placed in the mouth for hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Chlorine is a good source of hydrogen sulfide.


3. Sulfur dioxide poisoning. Due to the strong irritant effect of sulfur dioxide on the respiratory system when it comes into contact with water, it can cause burns in severe cases. Therefore, in addition to artificial respiration or oxygen therapy with a respirator, poisoned individuals should be given milk, honey, or rinsed with soda solution to reduce irritation.


4. Poisoning by atmospheric dioxide. The most prominent symptoms of dioxide poisoning are yellowing of fingertips and hair, as well as symptoms such as coughing, nausea, and vomiting. Because nitrogen dioxide poisoning can cause lung edema in the injured, artificial respiration cannot be used. If it is necessary to use a respirator for resuscitation, carbon dioxide cannot be added to pure oxygen to avoid stimulating the lungs of the injured. It is best to allow the injured person to breathe autonomously with oxygen provided by the regenerator.


5. Carbon monoxide poisoning, shallow and rapid breathing, red spots on cheeks and body when unconscious, and peach red lips. Poisoned patients can be treated with artificial respiration or oxygen therapy using a respirator. During oxygen therapy, 5% to 7% carbon dioxide can be infiltrated to stimulate respiration and promote the recovery of respiratory function.
