Ammonia Gas Sickens 300



Ammonia gas is believed to have sickened 300 workers at a Malaysian Hyundai plant at the beginning of April. Maintenance workers arrived and smelled the gas, becoming dizzy, nauseated, and watery-eyed. However, when they tried to get out in order to escape the ammonia gas, they found the gates locked, and were forced to wait for a key to be found. Several plant workers were sent to local hospitals for suspected ammonia gas inhalation. Emergency crews were unable to find the source of the gas leak, though they continued to monitor the plant for ammonia gas.

All of that could have been avoided, if they had simply obtained an ATI SeriesC16 PortaSens II Portable Gas Leak Detector.

ATIs Series C16 PortaSens II Portable Gas Leak Detector is a versatile tool for performing regular leak checks in gas storage areas, around process equipment and piping, or in confined spaces prior to entry. A unique feature of the C16 detector is its ability to measure a variety of different gases by simply inserting the appropriate sensor for that gas. This means that one detector can be used to measure over 30 different gases or vapors, reducing the need to purchase individual detectors for each type of gas.
