The goal of an effective health and safety plan on offshore oil and gas facilities should be more frequent or even continuous monitoring, offering assurances that zero contamination readings really do mean zero contamination.

Environmental pressures and subsequent legislation to control hazardous substances have seen a sharp decline in the use of mercury, although it remains an important chemical in many industrial processes and a wide range of products.

Owners of fuel storage facilities are subject to regulations aimed at preventing leaks of fuel into the environment, increasing the need for VOC detectors.

From the 1970s to the present day, photoionisation detectors (PIDs) have been at the front line of efforts to detect volatile organic compounds.

The speed and accuracy of ION Science PID means that many workers safety concerns during operations can be effectively assessed and monitored.

Industrial (or occupational) hygiene places the emphasis on prevention of ill health from work, through recognising, evaluating and controlling the risks.

Detecting benzene in refinery is important as legislations across the globe has been put in place to ensure exposure of benzene at plants where it is produced is minimised.

Monitoring the breathing space of the individual employee to measure the levels of potentially harmful compounds that the individual is exposed to as he or she moves around the plant over the course of the day is best performed using a personal PID monitor.

The GasCheck Tesla is an advancement of this proven technology that has been specially designed to be used on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines whilst in operation.

The chemical industry has seen four major chemical incidents take place over recent times.Tiger Select benzene detector is currently being used in Deer Park to assist with the clean-up process. The Tiger Select benzene detector specifically seeks traces of benzene, which are highly toxic.

Petrochemical production, storage and transportation create complex safety-critical working environments, with even more complex gas detection requirements and the need for fast VOC detection.

Methyl bromide is a is an odourless, colourless gas most often used as a fumigant. About 70% of methyl bromide produced in the United States goes into pesticidal formulations.

VOCs and other toxic gases can produce major health effects, continuous VOC monitoring will alert nearby workers if harmful concentrations are reached.

When air quality monitoring is non-negotiable, ION Science offers various gas sensors and components that provide humidity resistance and anti-contamination design for optimal performance.

PID in construction is a great way to identify VOCs being emitted from contaminated development land prior to redevelopment.

Where are VOCs found in the food and Beverage industry and why do we need to monitor them. Also do you know how to detect such toxic gases?

A common gas for sterilisation of medical equipment destined for medical usage is Ethylene Oxide (EtO) EH40, but it needs to be monitored!
