Description: A toxic gas sensor is a device designed to detect the presence of harmful gases in the environment, providing crucial information for safety and health. These sensors are essential in various industrial, commercial, and domestic applications, as they allow for the identification of concentrations of dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and other volatile compounds. Toxic gas sensors typically operate using technologies such as electrochemistry, photoionization, or thermal conductivity, each with its own characteristics and sensitivity levels. The integration of these sensors into IoT (Internet of Things) systems enables real-time monitoring and data transmission to cloud platforms, facilitating informed decision-making and the implementation of appropriate safety measures. Their relevance lies in accident prevention, environmental protection, and air quality improvement, thus contributing to a safer and healthier environment for people and communities at large.
