Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Monitoring – For Stack , Ambient & Indoor
Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is a colorless gas, with a pungent smell at 0.04ppm. Inhalation of this gas can cause eyes, nose and throat irritation. Exposure to high levels may cause muscle spasms and can damage the lungs and heart and in extreme cases can result in death. It is important in many industries for fast detection of hydrogen fluoride to avoid the gas reaching dangerous toxic levels. Periodic monitoring of Hydrogen Fluoride is the best solution to ensure the personal safety of workers in different environment.
