Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most dangerous poisons. It has no smell and taste, and in sufficiently high concentrations it is fatal for humans.
You do not need to think that you can poison only during a fire or in an industrial enterprise: carbon monoxide is formed in all types of combustion, whether it is burning fuel in power stations, fireplace, campfire or gas in the gas stove, smoke, working vehicle, etc. Carbon monoxide accumulates in the apartments and houses located near the road.
According to statistics, CO is one of the leading causes of accidental poisoning. For example, in the United States about 400 people died, another 20 thousand people had to be hospitalized this year because of CO. Designed to prevent the tragedy the smallest in the world analyzer Pocket CO, was developed by KWJ Engineering, the Californian company.
This gadget is used as a keychain and can detect carbon monoxide, even at the minimum concentration of one million share. When the concentration of 25 million shares (the maximum allowable level for the 8-hour day), the device will bring the voice signal once per hour. If the concentration of CO is twice the gadget starts to squeak every 20 seconds. If the same amount of carbon monoxide in the air reaches the deadly mark of 400 million shares, the analyzer will signal about it every 5 seconds.
The gadget is extremely easy to use, it has a loud and clear signal vibration, and easily readable display. It keeps data in the memory and calculates the average concentration of carbon monoxide in the air for a certain period of time. The price of this gadget is 139 dollars.
