Sensidyne Releases New Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Gas Detection Sensor to Meet Revised ACGIH TLV

Clearwater, FL, May 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S [CAS 7783-06-4]) gas exposure can cause long-term health effects and is deadly in high concentrations if aid is not given immediately. After a 5 year notice period, ACGIH adopted a 1 PPM TLV for Hydrogen Sulfide, reduced from the former level of 10 PPM. A 5 PPM STEL was also adopted. STEL is the 15 minute "short term exposure limit."

The new 10 PPM Plus Series sensor permits alarming at 1 PPM and also setting an 8 hour TWA alarm for that value in Sensidyne SensAlert Plus and SensAlarm Plus gas detectors.
