Gas Monitoring Parameters

Acid gases are corrosive, gaseous compounds that form an acidic solution when dissolved in water and are a by-product of burning certain substances, although some occur naturally.

Ammonia (NH3) is a natural, colorless, reactive gas with a strong odor used within cleaning chemicals, fertilizer, refrigerant gas, water purification, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing plastics and other chemicals.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless and odorless gas, which is produced during respiration by all animals, fungi and micro-organisms that depend directly or indirectly on living or decaying plants for food.

Chlorine (Cl2) is a toxic gas commonly used in disinfection and sterilization due to its high reactivity as an oxidizing agent.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a yellow to red manufactured gas with an unpleasant odor, used as a disinfectant that kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Formaldehyde (CH20) is a colorless, corrosive, pungent gas that can cause adverse health effects. Often originating from combustion processes, industrial activities, or household products.

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a colorless, slightly yellow, corrosive, non-flammable gas that is heavier than air and has a strong irritating odor.

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a highly poisonous, colorless or light blue liquid or gas used as an industrial chemical that is extremely flammable.

Hydrogen fluoride is a dangerous, colorless, corrosive gas used in the manufacture of products. Breathing in even small amounts of Hydrogen Fluoride can cause serious health issues.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a strong oxidizer widely used in the deep cleaning and decontamination of medical, education, leisure and care facilities to destabilize any molecule it can react with, including those that make up microorganisms.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a highly toxic, flammable gas used in a number of industries, such as oil and gas refining, mining, tanning, pulp and paper processing.

Oxygen (O) is a non-metal element that is a colorless, odorless reactive gas at room temperature.

Ozone gas (O3) is highly reactive and toxic and is considered a major pollutant that can negatively impact the health of those who breathe it in.

Peracetic acid (PAA) is an extremely strong, highly corrosive oxidizer, widely used for its ability to sanitize surfaces and objects.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a colorless, toxic and corrosive gas with an irritating pungent odor, primarily originating from combustion processes and industrial activities.
