This tube can simultaneously measure a range of acid gases – Hydrogen fluoride, Hydrogen chloride, Nitric acid, Hydrogen bromide, Phosphoric acid and Sulphuric acid (HF, HCl, HNO₃, HBr, HPO₄ and H₂SO₄).

Sources of acid gases include:

• Coal burning, including power stations.
• Industrial processes including fertilizer production.
• Refrigerants.
• Waste incineration, particularly plastics.
• Natural processes, such as volcanoes.

With detection from the low parts per billion (ppb) range and no requirement for a power supply, these acid gas diffusion tubes are an efficient monitoring option. Sampling periods range from 2-4 weeks.

Potential implications of acid gases:

• Damage to metals, concrete, glass, ceramic etc.
• Respiratory effects.
• Possible eye and skin irritation.
• Burning sensation may occur at very high concentrations.
