The Fire Department uses the PS241 gas sensor to determine if a situation is safe.
The PS200 series are developed for the industry and specialised in measuring explosive gas and other dangerous situations like a lack of oxygen or an increased level of CO2 for example.
When the Fire Department is asked to determine the level of safety in an environment, caused by complaints as a result of exposure to a high level of pesticides, the Fire Department can use a sensor like this one. The question is if there is a better way to measure the exposure of high levels of pesticides.
