Two Major Misunderstandings in Selecting Toxic and Harmful Gas Detectors and Technical Communication
Due to historical and cognitive reasons, there are still many problems and misconceptions when choosing various toxic and harmful gas detectors.
Misconception 1: Emphasize the detection of flammable gases and ignore the detection of toxic gases.
Misconception 2: Emphasizing the detection of gases that may cause acute poisoning and neglecting the detection of gases that may cause chronic poisoning.
In the production process, the explosion accidents caused by numerous combustible gas leaks result in significant casualties and property losses. The lessons learned from this incident have made people attach great importance to combustible gas detection. Therefore, in any petrochemical or chemical plant, the vast majority of hazardous gas detectors are LEL detectors. But for truly protecting the safety and health of workers, simply equipping LEL detectors is still far from enough. Cangzhou Haigu Safety Protection Technology Co., Ltd. pointed out that it cannot be denied that most volatile hazardous gases are combustible gases, but catalytic combustion combustible gas detectors (LEL) are not the best choice for detecting all combustible gases. Because it is specifically designed for detecting methane, and its detection performance for other combustible substances is relatively poor. So, the lower limit concentration of combustible gases other than methane that can be detected by LEL detectors is much higher than their allowable concentration, which makes it easy for safety hazards to occur during work. In response to this situation, Haigu Safety Protection Technology has specially developed three in one and five in one gas detectors, which can effectively detect various flammable substances in the air.
Due to the more obvious manifestations of acute poisoning, we currently pay more attention to the detection of gases that can cause acute poisoning, such as hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide. However, we do not pay enough attention to the detection of gases that can cause chronic poisoning, such as aromatic hydrocarbons and alcohols. Cangzhou Haigu Safety Protection Technology Co., Ltd. pointed out that chronic poisoning poses no less harm to the health and safety of workers than acute poisoning. Chronic gas poisoning may cause cancer and other hidden illnesses in the human body, affecting the lifespan and health of workers. The reason for the occurrence of this phenomenon is not only due to misconceptions, but also the lack of suitable organic gas detectors that can detect lower concentrations in the market in the past. Cangzhou Haigu Safety Protection Technology Co., Ltd. has developed and produced a gas detector for detecting scarce aromatic hydrocarbons and alcohols in the market, which can effectively prevent chronic poisoning of workers.
With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's health awareness, people are no longer satisfied with "going to work happily and returning home safely", but have begun to pursue higher quality of life and living conditions. People not only care about today's work, but also about tomorrow's life after retirement. Therefore, new concepts and ideas need to be constantly introduced in industrial hygiene and industrial safety work in order to avoid immediate dangers and tragedies in the future. All of these need to be continuously improved and enhanced through the use of high-quality gas detectors from marine solid sources.
