The evolution of toxic gas detectors is rooted in industrial safety, with milestones marking significant leaps in detection technology. In the early 20th century, electrochemical sensors were among the first devices designed to identify lethal gases in coal mines. The sensors relied on a chemical reaction between the toxic gas and an electrode, generating an electrical […]
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 48.3 million procedures were performed at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers in the United States in 2010. Healthcare providers and patient advocates understand that infection prevention requires meticulous sanitation and sterilization of all facilities, equipment, and instruments used in surgery settings. According to the World Health […]
Personal protection equipment (“PPE”)includes the gloves, gowns, N95 respiratory masks, and other items required by doctors, nurses, and other healthcare personnel responsible for treating patients, including those suffering from infectious diseases. As has become evident in the current COVID-19 emergency affecting the globe, during a crisis, these critical items may not always be available in […]
In March of 2016, an ammonia gas leak at a seafood processing plant in Boston left one worker dead. The fumes at the plant were so powerful that firefighters could not promptly enter the scene to mitigate the gas leak and try to save the staff member until much later. Reports show that 5,300 pounds of […]
