Conventional smoke and gas detectors are inherently dumb devices. Their
alarms might be loud, but if no one’s home to hear them, what good do they
accomplish?
Dangerous gas leaks like carbon monoxide are invisible and undetectable
to our senses and to ordinary devices like a smoke alarm. They’re also
colorless and odorless, and can cause symptoms such as memory loss,
shortness of breath, even death in the most extreme cases.
Most smart smoke, gas leak detectors are primarily designed to detect
combustible gases or toxic gas and react by displaying a reading, setting
off an audible or visual alarm and/or sending an alert to your smartphone
- if danger is detected.
They work in different ways, depending on the gas they are targeted
toward, and the device should be used exactly as the manufacturer
describes.
The manufacturers are very specific about which gas or gases their
detector will sense. Below, are some of the common gases you'll have to
pay attention.
-
Combustible Gases. Natural gas mostly comprising methane and
propane have an additive called mercaptan that smells like rotten
eggs.
-
Toxic Gases like Carbon Monoxide. Exposure to high levels of
colorless odorless carbon monoxide (CO) from a leaking appliance or a
vehicle running in an attached garage is harmful, and can be
fatal.
-
Radon. While a concentration in your basement or crawl space may
not cause your home to explode the way propane or natural gas can, it’s
radioactive and is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
