In recent years, portable gas detectors have shrunk in size and cost while many new features have been added: automatic time-weighted average (TWA) and short-term exposure limit (STEL) calculations, data logging, man-down alarm, and wireless capabilities to name a few.
Not a single day goes by without media reports warning of increasing CO2 levels, rising temperatures and sea levels resulting from global climate change.
To ensure the best gas detection per dollar invested, consider three basic criteria: reliability, ease of use, and durability, or “RED”, before buying.
