The SF6 AreaCheck P2 gas detector utilizes relay output for immediate awareness of detected leaks and presents no cross-sensitivity with any other gas or moisture in the air.

A Clinton administration policy requiring major U.S. sources of hazardous air pollution to maintain control through technology advancements is altered by the U.S. EPA, enabling them to meet less rigorous standards.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a harmful soil pollutant that slowly diffuses through the soil very slowly, sometimes taking years before the impact becomes noticeable and significant.

Leak testing is too often considered as an afterthought resulting in costly situations and solutions, especially in production systems. Leak testing is a topic that should be discussed and considered at the design phase of production, leading to cost reductions and quality improvements.

Gas detection is used across a variety of industries to keep worker safety a top priority. But how often is it thought about gas leaks and detection in the aviation sector? Confined spaces in aircraft carriers can become a large risk if oxygen levels are altered and toxic gases at high concentrations, such as jet fuel, are present.

Fire investigators worldwide use the ION Science Fire Investigation Kit to maximize their productivity and minimize the number of lab samples taken on-site.

PIDs can be affected by adverse environmental conditions, such as high humidity -- leading to false low or conversely high readings. Humidity is a natural phenomenon and is an amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere or in a gas. Water vapor is the gaseous state of water and is invisible to the human eye. But, we have all experienced how uncomfortable high ...

The almost instantaneous response of a PID instrument ensures that if conditions change with regard to disbursement of toxic gas or vapor, the perimeter can be adjusted accordingly. The versatile nature of a PID instrument makes it an indispensable device for emergency services in response to a HAZMAT incident. Preliminary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Assess...

Inadequate ventilation, which may occur if heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems do not effectively distribute air to people in a building, may cause indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, as well as be an important factor in sick building syndrome. However, inadequate indoor ventilation today is being combatted by intelligent HVAC systems. HVAC systems ...

At this time of crisis, we need to be protecting those keeping us safe. Hospitals are clean, sterile environments, but very little is known about the chemical Detecting VOCs in Hospitals - ION Sciencecondition of indoor air in hospitals. Doctors, nurses, as well as all the other healthcare workers and patients may be exposed to a wide range of chemicals emitted from v...
