CRYOSAUNA / LABS
Many labs use inert gases such as Nitrogen, Helium, and Argon during their processes.
These inert gases can readily deplete Oxygen level and cause asphyxiation.
Cryosaunas are popping up everywhere as a new way to rehabilitate the body.
This cold chamber uses liquid Nitrogen to get temperatures below -100
degrees Fahrenheit. Oxygen depletion has become a concern should a tank
ever leak.
Storage of Combustible gas tanks in labs also have the potential to
leak combustible gases.
COMMON GASES:
Oxygen (depletion & enrichment), Combustibles
MACURCO PRODUCTS:
OX-6 (O
), GD-6 (Combustibles)

LANDFILLS
Due to growing cities, old landfills are being converted into commercial or residential
developments. Due to the dangers of methane seeping up through the ground the
need to monitor methane levels is being required.
The decomposition of garbage results in both Methane and Hydrogen
Sulfide being by-products in these environments. These landfills can have
dangerous gases rising to the surface or accumulating in the area,
Methane and/or Hydrogen Sulfide. High levels of Methane can
displace Oxygen in the air resulting in an array of health issues and
at high concentrations can be explosive. Hydrogen Sulfide is a
toxic gas that has a pungent rotten egg smell and very high
levels can be deadly.
Common Gases:
Methane, Hydrogen Sulfide
Macurco Products:
GD-6 (Combustibles), TX-6-HS (H
