Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas with no color or odor. It usually burns with a blue flame. But more importantly it is a very strong poison. If it is very high concentration in the breathing air, it will rapidly pass into the blood and become attached to the hemoglobin where the oxygen is carried. Besides, it replaces oxygen in the blood because it binds faster than oxygen. When oxygen does not reach the tissues and organs sufficiently, the effects of poisoning begin to manifest themselves. These include headache, dizziness, visual disturbances, mental blur, drowsiness and coma in severe situations. Brain damage occurs and even leads to death.
Hydrogen sulfide is also a toxic gas without color but has a smell like rotten eggs. Hydrogen sulfide is also a flammable and explosive gas. 5-45 content of hydrogen sulphide is an explosive air content. Hydrogen sulfide is most commonly found in spas, natural gas wells and crude oil plants. If there is a high amount of hydrogen sulfide in the breathing air, it suppresses people's sense of smell and leads to sudden death if inhaled too much without realizing it. In case of prolonged exposure to low amounts, people's sense of smell will disappear.
Combined measurement and evaluation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide gases, which have a significant impact on air pollution and working environment air, are extremely important in this respect. Dual toxic toxin measurements (CO and H2S measurements) are performed for this purpose. In case of exposure to these gases together, they cause unconsciousness in a very short time. In the event of any danger, employees should be removed from the area and the concentration of these gases must be determined.
Our company performs dual tox (CO / H2S) measurements within the scope of gas measurements. In these studies, the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations are being followed. Meanwhile, our organization has been accredited in accordance with TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standards from Turkish Accreditation Institution (TÜRCERT) and the test, measurement, analysis, control and inspection procedures and reports issued are considered valid in private and official audits.
