Hazardous Environment Monitoring

Phosgene is a highly toxic gas that is a major industrial hazard, especially in facilities that manufacture plastics, pesticides, dyes, or pharmaceuticals. Phosgene is a colorless gas that is difficult to detect by eye and gives off a faint, subtle odor.

What makes phosgene especially dangerous is its delayed effect as symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath may not appear for several hours, at which point life-threatening pulmonary edema can occur. Monitoring for Phosgene is therefore critical not only during manufacturing but also during post-incident response. Scentroid's air quality monitors offer reliable detection capabilities to identify and respond to this silent threat before it causes harm.
