Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Detection
Portable & fixed-point Cl2 detectors for textiles, pulp, and paper industries.
About Chlorine Dioxide Detection
Chlorine Dioxide is a yellow to reddish-yellow gas used predominantly in bleaching and stripping of textiles, pulp, and paper industries.
It also serves as a disinfectant and sanitizer in water treatment and food processing. Its unique properties allow for efficient sterilization without creating harmful chlorinated byproducts. Despite its benefits, ClO2 is a potent irritant and a strong oxidizer, necessitating advanced detection and control measures to prevent occupational hazards.

What Toxic Gases in Industrial Fires Should Safety Managers Watch For?
Industrial fires produce more inorganic than organic gases. Hazardous gases pose a risk because they can be toxic or asphyxiant, and some, such as carbon monoxide, are lethal at high concentrations in a short time. Many gases produced in fires are themselves flammable and will intensify and spread the fire, for example, hydrogen sulfide. Other gases are non-flammable but strong oxidizers that can intensify fires, like nitrogen oxides.
Why Chlorine Should Be Monitored in These Industries: 12 Critical Sectors You Need to Know
Chlorine should be monitored in industries that use it as a raw material for manufacturing, as a disinfectant, and as a bleaching agent. Chlorine should be monitored because it is toxic, corrosive, and a fire risk. Chlorine monitors should be placed in places where the chemical is transported, stored, fed into equipment, and processed.
Among occupational hazardous gases, chlorine causes the third-highest number of injuries and deaths in industry.
Occupational Hazards from Exposure to Inorganic and Organic Gas
Organic gases and vapors are primarily fire and explosion risks, but some can also be toxic. Risks from exposure to inorganic gases arise from their toxic, asphyxiant, and flammable properties. Common gas properties of density, concentrations, temperature, pressure, and ventilation can influence the risk posed by inorganic and organic gases.
Gases occur in most industrial sectors, as raw materials or products of processes. Accidental leaks can expose workers to hazardous gases.
Important Update: GasD IS Intrinsic Safety Certification Update
We are pleased to share an important progress update regarding the intrinsic safety certification of the GasD IS portable gas detector. All intrinsic safety testing has been successfully completed. UL’s evaluation confirms that the GasD IS design meets the requirements of IEC 60079-11 for intrinsic safety. The certification process has now moved into its final administrative and documentation phase ahead of formal approval.
What Is Environmental Monitoring and Which Air Pollutants Are Regulated?
The major toxic air pollutants that Environmental Monitoring Professionals assess are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter, and lead. Other serious toxic gases also monitored are ammonia, VOCs, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen chloride. The concentrations of toxic air pollutants are regulated by strict standards to limit health problems and environmental damage.
